How can Switzerland safeguard landscape services in the future? A new factsheet from the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) presents viable solutions and specific projects from the field. MRI Co-Principal Investigator Adrienne Grêt-Regamey is among the authors. 

From droughts to heavy rainfall and retreating glaciers – climate change is altering Switzerland’s landscapes. At the same time these landscapes provide protection from the consequences of climate change, such as flooding and avalanches. How can these landscape services be safeguarded in the future? A new factsheet from the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) presents viable solutions and specific projects from the field.

Among the authors is Professor Adrienne Grêt-Regamey, Mountain Research Initiative Co-Principal Investigator.
