Water in the Alps - and beyond
Trento, Italy
From: 25.09.2014 to: 26.09.2014
The Fifth International Water Conference of the Alpine Convention will be organized in Trento on 25-26 September 2014 on the topic of "Water in the Alps - and beyond; Adapting alpine and mountain river basins to climate change".
The Water Conference was born to spread the results of the activities devoted to water management in the framework of the Alpine Convention and represents an opportunity for the exchange of experiences among several of the world’s mountain ranges (Alps, Carpathian, Caucasus and Central Asian) on the adaptation measures to climate change and will offer an opportunity to build synergies.
The Fifth Water Conference is intended to allow a wide group of experts, administrators, practitioners and stakeholders to share best practices and their findings on climate change adaptation in mountain trans-boundary river basins. Various panels of experts will illustrate the main results of the respective conventions’ recent activities.
Further, updated high-level information on climate change and adaptation strategies will be provided, together with the results of some relevant projects of European Territorial Cooperation on the issues. A special focus will be dedicated to the implementation of flood management measures, in particular, the European Union Flood Directive.
The event is organized jointly by the Alpine Convention and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Water Convention. Read more
