Transnational Seminar on Natural Hazards and Climate Change in Mountain Areas MONTCLIMA

We are pleased to announce that the MONTCLIMA SUDOE project seminar on natural hazards and climate change in mountain areas will take place in Soria from 20 to 21 October 2020!

This transnational seminar will focus on defining the link between the risks of drought, floods, erosion and forest fires in the SUDOE mountains and the impact of climate change on these four risks. It will also be an opportunity to present the progress of the MONTCLIMA Project and its future objectives, the programme is available here.

Registration will take place from the first of September via this registration form. It will be possible to attend the seminar in a completely virtual way.

Don't forget that a call for good practices has been launched to identify projects and concepts put in place to fight against natural risks. If you are part of a project concerned by these issues do not hesitate to participate, all information is available here.
