During the three-day event, the meeting participants will discuss inter- and transdisciplinary aspects of current and future potential impacts of climate change and their repercussions on demographic, socio-economic and cultural processes in mountain regions.
Next to hosting a number of plenary talks and a public event, „Managing Alpine Future II“ will feature the following seven core themes in both oral and poster sessions:

• Climate Change: from paleo-climate to climate modelling
• Natural Resources and Ecology: from alpine meadows to ecosystem services
• Tourism and Energy: from mobility to snow-making
• Society and Culture: from education to migration
• Ethics and Politics: from consumer behaviour to multi-level governance
• Spatial Planning: from hazard zoning to land use changes
• Hydrology: from flood retention to integrated water resource management
