General objective

The general objective is to provide tools and information to understand vulnerability to climate change of the agriculture environment in Trentino and assess adaptation options suitable for Trentino’s socio-economical conditions. Currently, most of the studies focused on the impact of climate change at a global level, without considering the regional levels, therefore the project will fill an important gap, not only providing specific information on Trentino’s situation, but also developing methodological approaches to be used in the future or in other similar areas. The project will create important tools to forecast the potential impact of global changes on Trentino’s territory and will strengthen agriculture with a sustainable development.

The final aim is to preserve and improve the quality of life of habitants, protecting environment and biodiversity for the future generations, as well as to represent a model for sustainable development of mountain areas.
