LIFE PYRENEES4CLIMA

TOWARDS A CLIMATE RESILIENT CROSS-BORDER MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY IN THE PYRENEES
Aquacross

LIFE-SIP PYRENEES4CLIMA project aims to implement the first cross-border climate change strategy in Europe led by 6 regions and one state. The strategy targets a mountain range, the Pyrenees, with one of the highest biodiversity value in Europe and where the recent documented increase in recent temperature has been higher than the global average with measurable impacts on surface processes, natural resources and economic activities.

The Pyrenean Climate Change Strategy 2050, EPiCC, was approved on the 13th of Dec 2021 by the Presidents of the 7 Pyrenean territories: Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie, Aragon, Catalunya, Euskadi, Navarra and Andorra, all them members of the Working Community of the Pyrenees, CTP, covering 254.766 Km2, while Representatives of the Ecologic Transition Ministries of Spain and France participated in the Advisory Board. Furthermore, all they have agreed to participate in this proposal and have also approved, on the 31st March 2022, the first Operational Plan 2022-2030. The project has a systemic approach with the goal of increasing the resilience to climate change of the > 23.5 M people in the region, following the cross-border Pyrenean Strategy scheme based on five main pillars: understanding climate and its impacts, increasing resilient natural areas, adapting the mountain economy, focusing on population and territory and a more efficient governance. The unique signature of the PYRENEES4CLIMA is its multi-sectorial and multi-territorial dialogue built on the robust governance existing in the Pyrenees thanks to 11 years of work of the Pyrenean Climate Change Observatory, OPCC, which is the CTP?s flagship initiative, and thanks to the participatory process including more than 300 participants. The CTP and with almost 50 partners from all Pyrenean territories will ensure the full implementation of the EPiCC with a mediumterm vision becoming a true accelerator in the climate change adaptation in mountain regions in Europe.
