MAINSTREAMING. TRANSBOUNDARY. MANAGEMENT. DROUGHT. FLOOD. RISK. NATURE-BASED.

Surface water systems and groundwater aquifers in the Alps dealing with new challenges due to climate change are highly interlinked across borders.

As existing national river basin management plans often lack a transboundary perspective, our implementation pathways focus on the set-up of an Alpine-wide framework for climate-proofing water management systems and a coordinated approach to deal with new challenges such as drought management throughout the Alps.
