Beyond immediate water shortages, droughts reduce soil moisture, weaken forests, threaten agriculture and increase wildfire risk. 📊 The Map: Average drought impact area (2000–2023) 🌾 In Slovenia, Southeastern Austria, parts of France and Germany, 4–10% of land area faced yearly drought impacts. 🏔️ Alpine mountains show comparatively lower drought stress but impacts are expanding into mid-altitude slopes and valleys. 🚜 Agriculture and forestry are particularly exposed, with knock-on effects on biodiversity and water security. 📍 Regional development perspective Drought is no longer limited to traditionally arid zones, it increasingly affects landscapes once thought resilient. This shift challenges local economies, water management and ecological stability across the EUSALP space. 💡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? 🌿 Ecosystem services: Reduced water availability disrupts carbon storage, soil fertility and biomass production. 🔥 Risk multiplier: Drought amplifies the likelihood of forest dieback and wildfires. 🥛 Water security: Competing demands from agriculture, households and industry increase tensions. 🧩 Governance challenge: Droughts cross borders but adaptation strategies remain fragmented and unevenly developed. ❓ How can Alpine regions build more resilient, cross-border drought management strategies? #EUSALPinMAPS #ClimateChange #DroughtImpact #WaterSecurity #AlpineResilience #ClimateRisk #ClimateAdaptation #WaterSecurity #EUSALPCO-Presidency2025 European Commission Interreg Alpine Space Alpine Convention

The #EUSALP Action Group 6 invites you to the second #ResourceTalk – voices from AG6, a short #Webinar series to explore and discuss about natural and cultural resources in the Alpine Region💡 The format gives insights on a variety of topics as well as create networks and synergies with actors in the #AlpineRegion 🏔️ We warmly invite you to join our second session on the topic of "AlpTextyles: weaving heritage into a circular Alpine future” Together we will explore the results of mapping the living textile heritage, connecting craftsmanship and industry, engaging consumers beyond “greenwashing” and promoting traditional and innovative local design.   🗓️ 29 October, 12:00-12:45 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/eXrdt2NG (please register until 24 October 12:00) @AlpTextyles #EUSALP #AlpineRegion #AlpineFuture #Action6 #Resources

#𝗘𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗠𝗮𝗽𝘀 #𝟮𝟮 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 – 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘀 The Alps are a climate change hotspot—warming at twice the global average. Among the many risks, heat stress is emerging as a major challenge especially in lowland and peri-Alpine areas. Strong heat stress occurs when temperatures rise above 32°C. 📊 Figure 1: Heat Stress in 2024 🏞️  The Po Valley faced more than 80 strong heat days in 2024, with temperatures above 32°C. 🇸🇮🇫🇷 Slovenia and France show up to 60–80 heat days, making them hotspots of thermal stress. 🏔️ Inner-Alpine valleys and foothills were less challenged, with only 10–30 heat days. 📊 Figure 2: Change in Heat Stress (1995–2004 vs. 2024) ⏳ Over the past 20 years strong increases in heat stress were observed in Slovenia, Southeastern Austria and Southern France—up to +30 additional days. 🏔️ In contrast most mountainous regions recorded little to no increase showing a clear territorial divide. 📍 Regional development perspective Heat stress is not only a health challenge. It affects productivity, tourism and liveability. Vulnerable groups (elderly, outdoor workers) face higher risks while regional disparities grow between urbanised lowlands and cooler Alpine valleys. 💡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? 🌡️ Human health: Sustained exposure above 32°C raises risks for vulnerable groups. 🏙️ Urbanisation: Cities amplify heat stress through heat islands. 🌍 Territorial imbalances: While mountain regions remain less affected, peri-Alpine areas face disproportionate risks. 🧩 Governance challenge: Adaptation remains fragmented across borders, making coordinated Alpine-wide responses difficult. ❓ How can Alpine regions strengthen coordinated adaptation to heat stress across national and regional borders?

🌲 Discover Mountain Jobs 2025 – Forestry & Timber 🌲 From 18 to 20 September, 17 young people explored the world of forest ecosystems and wood-based professions during the second edition of Discover Mountain Jobs in Trentino. Organized by EUSALP ActionGroup 3, coordinated by the Autonomous Province of Trento, in collaboration with the EUSALP Task Force “Multifunctional Forest and Sustainable Use of Timber”, and supported by the Interreg Alpine Space Programme, the initiative showcased how mountain professions can combine tradition, innovation, and sustainability to create future opportunities. 📍 Highlights included: ✨ Meeting researchers and the Forestry Service at Arte Sella ✨ Learning from teachers, students, and entrepreneurs at CFP ENAIP Tesero, Enrico Ciresa S.r.l., and the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme ✨ Discovering the story of VAIA, a circular-economy startup born after Storm Vaia ✨ Engaging with local administrators and the EUSALP Youth Council on Alpine career opportunities The three-day journey proved that investing in young people and connecting them with mountain professions is key to securing the future of Alpine valleys — fostering resilience, innovation, and community. 🏔️ 💡 Find out more about this three-day event on EUSALP website: https://lnkd.in/dudc-EKW And follow EUSALP Action Group 3 activities here https://lnkd.in/dhw4wE-d #DiscoverMountainJobs #EUSALP #Forestry #Timber #Sustainability #YouthOpportunities #CircularEconomy #MountainJobs #LabourMarket #YouthEmpowerment #Education #Career #Opportunities  

#𝗘𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗠𝗮𝗽𝘀 #𝟮𝟭 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲’𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 - 𝗠𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲’𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆  Today, #EUSALPinMAPS focuses on water availability showing how Alpine mountains act as supply zones for Europe’s rivers, ecosystems and communities. The Alps are the source of Europe’s major rivers. Their snowpack, glaciers and rainfall generate the runoff that sustains ecosystems, agriculture, energy and cities far beyond the mountain arc. 📊 The Map: Water Availability (average annual surface water runoff) ⛰️ High-elevation ranges such as the Swiss Alps, the French Alps and the Italian-Slovenian border supply large volumes of freshwater runoff. 🌊 These Alpine sources feed Europe’s major river basins: Rhine, Po, Rhône, and Danube. 🌍 Water availability is highest in the Alpine mountains while lowlands depend heavily on these upstream supplies. 📍 Regional development perspective Water availability shapes downstream economies and land uses far beyond the Alps. Decisions on hydropower, hazard zones and tourism in mountain regions directly affect agriculture, industry and households in lowland areas. 💡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? 🌿 Ecosystem resilience: Alpine runoff sustains biodiversity and ecosystem services. ⚡ Energy production: Hydropower relies on predictable flows threatened by climate extremes. 🚰 Interregional dependence: Lowland metropolitan regions depend on Alpine water sources. 🧩 Governance challenge: Cross-border coordination is essential to manage shared rivers and reservoirs. ❓ How can Alpine countries strengthen cross-border governance to secure sustainable water supply from Europe’s “water tower”?
