About GreenRisk4ALPs

The “GreenRisk4ALPs Mountain Forest Conference”

We would like to invite you to learn, to connect, to discuss and to move forward together at managing our mountain forests sustainably as an effective protection measure against natural hazards, while also providing other important ecosystem services. This process not only involves providing scientific knowledge, but more importantly to translate this knowledge into policy and management actions as well as into the public perception.

The GreenRisk4ALPs Mountain Forest Conference will be held under the auspices of the IUFRO Division 8.03.00 – Natural Hazards and Risk Management, and the IUFRO Unit 8.03.02 – Snow and Avalanches.

The conference is free of charge and open to everyone!

Why attend?

Within the framework of our final project conference, we are hosting the public dialogue event “Science, practice and policy discuss ‘Natural hazard risk: Saving the Alpine future with or without protective forests?". We therefore dedicate the afternoon of June 28 to supporting the important and continuous dialogue between scientists, practitioners, policy makers and the public. We will spotlight current research, and ask representatives of the key actors and networks Alpine Convention, EUSALP, GLOMOS, IUCN, IUFRO, PLANALP, and the Interreg Alpine Space program the important question: “Natural hazard risk: Saving the Alpine future with or without protective forest?”

On June 29, we facilitate the bi-directional exchange between scientists and practitioners by presenting innovative decision support tools for ecosystem-based risk management that were developed in the GreenRisk4ALPs project but also by other experts from different Alpine countries.
