Abstract: Climate change impacts, especially growing risks from natural hazards, increasingly threaten settlements, infrastructure, lives and future development in the Alpine Space. CLISP aims at preventing increasing climate change-related spatial conflicts, vulnerability, damages and costs by providing “climate proof” spatial planning solutions as a substantial basis for future sustainable territorial development in the Alps.

As climate change adaptation and mitigation is a novel field for spatial planning policy and administration, CLISP is a strategic pilot project. Its main pillars are assessment of the vulnerability of Alpine regions/municipalities to climate-change related risks, evaluation of the “climate change fitness” of current spatial planning systems and intense risk communication and governance in model regions. Finally the project aims at building the basis for the elaboration of “climate proof” spatial planning strategies for the Alpine Space and the Alpine countries and providing practical support for sustainable development decisions on regional/local level.
