As part of its dynamic expansion, the Edmund Mach Foundation is establishing a new Climate Change Laboratory (CCL) to assess and model the potential impact of climate change on a regional scale and to evaluate the vulnerability and resilience of Alpine ecosystems to such changes. The CCL is also expected to develop mitigation and adaptation action plans in collaboration with the Foundation’s interdisciplinary team of ecologists, agronomists, modellers and epidemiologists. In addition, the Head of the CCL will be required to establish and coordinate a Climate Change Observatory to promote the harmonization of regional climate change related monitoring and research activities, liaising with local stakeholders and policy makers.
