Join the Alpine Climate Board (ACB) for their next webinar to learn more about new scientific insights on climate change in the Alps.
Organized by the Alpine Climate Board.
Activities of the Alpine Climate Board (ACB) build on the recognition that effects of climate change in the Alps will be more severe than in other European regions. More frequent extreme weather events, natural disasters, and the melting of glaciers are noticeable already today and will occur more frequent and more dramatically in the years to come.
The recently published Sixth Assessment Report of the IPCC offers new and detailed insights on how climate change will unfold in the Alps and thus provides a new scientific evidence for the ACB to reflect on the need for action. Are our efforts sufficient to meet the challenges of climate change?
Join us for our next webinar to learn more about new scientific insights on climate change in the Alps.
We are proud to have two authors of the recent IPCC report to share their insights with us:
Veruska Muccione, Senior Scientist, Department of Geography, University of Zurich (Lead author to IPCC AR6 WG II chapter “Europe” and cross-chapter “Mountains”)
Prof. Dr. Georg Kaser, Univ. Prof. for Climate and Cryospheric Research (retired), Institute of Atmospheric and Cryospheric Sciences, University of Innsbruck (Lead Author to IPCC AR4 and AR5, Review Editor in IPCC AR6)
