Climate Change Adaptation in the South-Eastern Europe Region

In 2013 UNEP appointed the TEN Center of VIU to carry out a research on Climate Change Adaptation in the South-Eastern Europe Region.

The research included the collection of available information that address the impacts of climate change on the region; the assessment of climate change impacts in mountain regions in SEE, considering all aspects in different sectors in a trans-boundary perspective (integrated, multi-sectoral methodology stemming from the Alpine and Carpathian Conventions), and pointing out vulnerabilities and potential priority actions for adaptation; the organization of a Scientific symposium on threats to human security due to vulnerability of mountain regions to climate change, in exchange with other regions harboring alpine ecosystems.

The results of the project were presented in the publication Climate Change Adaptation in the South-Eastern Europe Region, released in 2011.
