C3-Alps: Capitalising climate change knowledge for adaption in the Alpine Space

C3-Alps: Capitalising climate change knowledge for adaption in the Alpine Space

Building on the results of previous projects and initiatives on adaptation to climate change in the Alps, C3-Alps sought to synthesize, transfer, and implement in policy and practice the best available adaptation knowledge. By applying a knowledge transfer concept driven by the information and communication needs of target groups, the project optimized the usability of available knowledge resources in an attempt to bridge the gap between the generation of adaptation knowledge and its application in real-world decision-making. C3-Alps supported bottom-up adaptation measures in Alpine regions and municipalities, contributed to the implementation of national adaptation strategies, and disseminated Alpine adaptation capital within the Alpine community and beyond. Fresh -Thoughts supported the work package that developed a database of climate change adaptation measures in the Alpine Space, contributing to the agriculture and energy sectors.
