Climate adaptation for SMEs: registrations open for our third Smart mountains webinar!

 

Euromontana organises its third webinar of the Smart mountains series on “Climate adaptation: what opportunities for mountain businesses?” on 27th May 2021 from 14.00 to 15.45 via the Zoom platform and in English. Registrations are now open!

Climate change acts faster in mountain regions compared to lowland areas, and it strongly affects the mountain economy. For instance, a 2°C-temperature increase is expected to reduce the length of the European winter sport season by an average of 19 days, causing a loss of 10.1 million nights per winter season. Local businesses shall act quickly and seize the existing opportunities to tackle the effects of climate change in their business and foster mountain adaptation.

This webinar will feed the reflection and answer to some important questions: what are the current and future opportunities to foster climate adaptation for SMEs and businesses in mountains? What are some inspiring examples?

Three innovative practices from the tourism, agricultural and forestry sectors as well as speeches from European institution and organisations will showcase existing opportunities to boost the adaptive capacity of mountain SMEs and unleash new business opportunities.

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
