Jaca, September 17th, 2018. In the framework of the event Les Pyrénéennes, the Pyrenean Climate Change Observatory (OPCC) of the Working Community of the Pyrenees (CTP) organized last September 14th in Saint-Gaudens a workshop about climate change impacts on agropastoralism and a round table about the possibilities of adapting to these impacts.
Mitigation and adaptation to climate change are two sides of the same coin. Mitigation groups a series of measures limiting the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
The purpose of the contract is the development of a database of good practices of climate change adaptation in the territory of the CTP. This database will be the information bases for the creation of an online catalog of good practices, integrated in the tools section of the OPCC2 information portal, aming to facilitate decision-making on climate change adaptation in the Pyrenees.
On Tuesday, June 26, the first preparation meeting of the MONTCLIMA project took place in Derio (Vizcaya). This project will be presented to the first phase of the third call of the SUDOE programme next September.
The CTP, through the OPCC area, has become a beneficiary partner of the PHUSICOS project, submitted to the European H2020. The OPCC attended the Kick off meeting of the PHUSICOS project in Oslo.
The European mountain research network, NEMOR of which the OPCC is a member, was launched on May 30, 2018 through a public event in Barcelona. NEMOR is led by CREAF from Catalonia,and aims to enhance research in mountain areas to promote a sustainable adaptive and resilient development.
