3rd Montclima Seminar: Climate and natural risk in mountain areas Strategies for Managing and Preventing Drought Impacts on Forests in the SUDOE Mountains

The purpose of this report is to present the main conclusions and lines of action defined during the 3rd Transnational Seminar of the SUDOE MONTCLIMA Project on strategies for managing and preventing drought impacts on forests in the SUDOE mountains. The hybrid seminar, organised by CREAF, was held on 30 September 2021 in Barcelona, Spain.

The main objective of the seminar, in line with the MONTCLIMA Project’s vocation, is to contribute to improving strategies for managing and preventing drought impacts on forests in the SUDOE mountains with the aim of:

  • Sharing knowledge and experiences on good management practices and prevention strategies for drought impacts on forests.
  • Contributing to more effective and efficient forest management policies.
  • Strengthening the resilience of the SUDOE mountain territories to drought and the impacts of climate change.

The MONTCLIMA SUDOE Project contributes to the development of a framework of reference that serves as a transnational strategy for preventing natural hazards that have a particularly severe effect on mountain areas in the southwest of Europe.
