Save the date!

The Alpine Climate Board (ACB), a working body of the Alpine Convention (AC), wants to bring you up to date on the latest scientific findings related to permafrost in the Alps and where we stand with respect to a cross-border and integrated monitoring (as part of their Climate Action Plan 2.0). They also want to highlight activities on how different stakeholders in the Alps deal with permafrost thawing and which risk management measures are already implemented or foreseen.

They are thus glad to invite you to their next ACB webinar, including the following speakers:

• Dr. Isabelle Gärtner-Roer, University of Zurich: State-of-the-art on permafrost research in the Alps
• Dr. Ingo Hartmeyer, GeoResearch: Risk management strategies for tourism infrastructures, municipalities and national parks
• Dr. Tobias Hipp, Deutscher Alpenverein: How the Alpine Clubs are dealing with permafrost instability

The webinar will be held in English and is free of charge. Please register here by Wednesday, 27 September 2023. All participants will receive the Zoom link prior to the webinar. Please take note that this webinar will be recorded and published on the channels of the Alpine Convention.
