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!
