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