The European Parliament today adopted its report on the European Water Resilience Strategy recognising the essential role of mountain areas and point out that “mountains are real water towers and important freshwater reservoirs in Europe, the Alps alone providing 40 % of Europe’s fresh water”.
We are pleased to announce that we are launching the MountResilience Community of Practice on Climate Change Adaptation and we encourage all mountain stakeholders engaged in climate change adaptation to join the CoP to learn, exchange and boost climate action in the mountains!
On World Water Day and World Glaciers Day, we call more than ever to strengthen Europe’s commitment to preserve glaciers, whose melting, especially in the Alps, poses a serious threat to Europe’s water supply.
Working themes
Territorial development
We work on different key policies that contribute to the quality of life of local communities and the attractiveness of mountain areas.
Environment
The mountain environment is rich and unique. We work to preserve and restore it, increase the environmental resilience of mountain areas and help territories drive transitions.
Agriculture
Mountain landscapes are shaped by traditional, extensive and sustainable agriculture. We aim to promote mountain farming and improve the conditions of mountain farmers.
Cross-cutting
Mountain areas are veritable laboratories for finding new solutions to overarching challenges. We promote research and innovation in, with and for mountain communities.
