Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in the Alpine Macro-region
This report presents the findings of a governance study on mainstreaming and scaling climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) in the countries of the Alpine macro region. In order to strengthen the coherence of these two policy fields, good practice examples bringing together CCA and DRR and combining different governance elements (policies, measures, actors, knowledge and interactions) at various governance levels were analysed. The examples match selection criteria such as bringing added value for both fields and exploiting common ground between long-term perspectives and uncertainty issues ( relevant to CCA) as well as the risk management cycle (relevant to DRR). In addition, good practice examples were required to include multi-level governance approaches and linkages between several governance elements.
The report presents the analysis of case studies in Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, and Switzerland and summarizes challenges, success factors and lessons learnt. The transnational comparison shows that a range of approaches to strengthen the coherence of DRR and CCA does already exist in Alpine countries. The report aims to disseminate the lessons learnt.
