ESPON climate Potential vulnerability to climate change
General Objectives OPCC • climate Pyrenees • most vulnerable • regional governments
Operational objectives • knowledge • vulnerability • recommendations • raise awareness • visibility
Specificities of the OPCC • Innovative initiative: • Biogeography unit: Pyrenees • network of stakeholders in CTP-territory • adaptation to climate change • Platform for exchange: politicians, scientists and stakeholders of CTP’s territory • Advisory body for politicians on climate related decisions in the CTP territory • Climate awareness

STUDY ON THE CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION IN THE PYRENEES Conducted by ACTeon, BC3 et Fresh Thoughts Budget: EUR 100,000 Schedule: Aug 2011-Nov 2012
PHASE 1 Characteristics of the area and adaptation experiences in the Pyrenees (almost completed) Identify climate change issues and their impact on the Pyrenees to draw a picture of its vulnerabilities as a territory Survey and analysis of implemented adaptation measures and initiatives in the Pyrenees PHASE 2 Lessons learned and experiences from European initiatives (started) Survey and analysis of adaptation measures and initiatives in other European contexts relevant to the Pyrenees (mountain areas and sectors) Develop relevant and practical reference documents for Pyrenean stakeholders to support the development of their adaptation to CC. Objectives
Outputs to date Profile of the Pyrenees focusing on the exposition and vulnerabilities of key sectors (winter sports and tourism, etc.) Allows to identify critical needs and gaps in adaptation. « As climate changes, the Pyrenees adapt» (FR, ES and soon an EN version, 20pp): Publication for the general public Catalogue and analysis of adaptation measures in the Pyrenees (N=110) Provides a picture of the current level of involvement of stakeholders with adaptation to climate change Review of relevant existing adaptation initiatives in other European contexts Provide additional inspiration to develop a future best practice guide to formulate adaptation initiatives
Next steps to November 2012 Complete catalogue of relevant EU initiatives Analysis of relevant EU initiatives Develop best practice guide for stakeholders Finalize the framework of analysis (or classification framework) of adaptation measures in the Pyrenees.
