Effects of climate change on our environment
In order to identify the challenges of climate change and to tackle possible opportunities at an early stage, the Mountain Habitat Foundation has launched the project "Climate and Change in the Mountains". The project was started at the beginning of the year with three information events.
Four pre-event sessions will be held with various experts to discuss the local consequences of natural hazards due to climate change, as well as potential opportunities that may result.
On Friday, March 27, the participants of the workshops will explore, among other things, the meteorological natural hazards and the climate future in the Alpine region with Thomas Bucheli, SRF Meteo. But also on the geological natural hazards, biodiversity and alpine farming or on the topic of protection forest, an inventory will be compiled with renowned experts from Switzerland on another three evenings.
All interested persons are invited to discuss the effects of climate change around the Titlis.
The preliminary evening events will take place on Friday 27 March, 24 April, 8 May and 15 May 2020 from 16.40 to approx. 20 o'clock in the manor house in Grafenort (stop zb Zentralbahn directly in front of the manor house). Afterwards an aperitif will be offered and further discussions will take place. Participation is free of charge, but registration is necessary as the number of places is limited.
