Adaptation at Altitude: enhancing resilience from glaciers to seas

Convened as part of the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation through the Adaptation at Altitude (A@A) Knowledge Network, this event will bring together stakeholders to exchange and showcase solutions for adapting to climate change in mountains, focusing on glacier-related hazards. 

The event will open with an introductory presentation and be followed by a showcase of projects and solutions adapting to climate change induced glacier hazards in mountain regions, with the goal of fostering learning, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. It will close with a discussion of best practices, shared gaps and challenges, and a Q&A.  

What is the A@A Knowledge Network? 

The Adaptation at Altitude programme, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), seeks to support mountain communities and those working with them by improving the knowledge of appropriate climate change adaptation strategies in the mountains, and transferring that knowledge through science–policy platforms to inform decision-making in national, regional and global policy processes. 

The Adaptation at Altitude (A@A) Knowledge Network is a global community through which we can share experiences and knowledge on adaptation in the mountains and collaborate to accelerate the uptake of innovative solutions. Want to keep informed about our upcoming meetings and events? Find more information and details on how to get involved on our A@A Knowledge Network homepage.
