Landslides are a serious problem for humans and infrastructure in many parts of Europe. Experts know to certain degree which the continent most exposed landslide hazard. Nevertheless, neither geographical location previous events nor knowledge locations with high hazard necessarily point out areas highest risk. In addition, landslides often occur unexpectedly decisions on where investments should be made manage mitigate future based need demonstrate action political will. The goal this study...
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are becoming increasingly important in both the EU and individual countries’ political agendas, as a sustainable means to reduce risk posed by hydrometeorological hazards. However, use of NBS is increasing, number barriers regarding their practical implementation also become apparent. A review studies have summarized classified barriers, mainly urban settings. PHUSICOS Horizon 2020 Innovation Action demonstrate rural mountain landscapes. Large-scale demonstrator...
Risk is recognised in both the social sciences and natural as some combination of hazard vulnerability, often includes exposure coping capacity. How these four components are defined, measured evaluated differs greatly between two disciplines, especially case vulnerability capacity: methods generally quantitative, but consideration limited capacity non-existent; considered broader detail, because resulting complexity qualitative favoured. analysis physical can benefit from introduction...
Planners and engineers increasingly discovered nature as a source of inspiration to mitigate hydro-meteorological risks resulting from extreme weather events. Actors are realizing advantages such solutions known Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) rapidly adapt changing climate patterns related impacts flooding, landslides, mudflows or rockfalls. NBS also provide multiple co-benefits an increased landscape value for society biodiversity. Because their inherent characteristics, implementation more...
Vegetation can be used as a nature-based solution (NBS) to restore rivers and mitigate water-triggered processes along streambanks. Roots are well known improve the overall stability of slopes through hydro-mechanical reinforcement within rooted zone. Vegetation-based solutions require selection species that most suitable for specific locations, they aimed at restoring natural state function river systems in support biodiversity, flood management, landscape development. Selecting combination...
Abstract This paper presents recent innovations implemented in the LaRiMiT (Landslide Risk Mitigation Toolbox) webtool. These include an innovative methodology for utilising experts’ scoring of landslide risk mitigation measures directly within decision support tool, and updating tool’s database over structural to many nature-based solutions (NBS) mitigating risk. Landslides are a common treacherous natural hazard, due effect climate change on frequency intensity extreme weather events,...
Literature on climate services presents a large diversity of different and uses. Many have ‘usability gaps’: the information provided, or way it is visualized, may be unsuitable for end users to inform decision-making processes in relation adaptation against change impacts development policies this end. The aim article contribute more informed efficient by developing typology usability gaps services. To do so, we first present demonstrate so-called ‘climate design’ (CID) template with which...
Climate change is already being felt in Europe, unequivocally affecting the regions’ geo-structures. Concern over this rising, as reflected increasing number of studies on subject. However, majority these focused only slopes and a limited geographical scope. In paper, we attempted to provide broader picture potential climate impacts geo-structures Europe by gathering collective view geo-engineers geo-scientists several countries, considering different geo-structure types. We also...
Abstract Road construction in rugged terrain and variable, partly harsh climate is challenging. Proper assessment of natural hazards at an early planning stage can give large cost savings safer roads. In assessing along 720 km planned roads Norway, a GIS-based tool was developed to utilize publicly available data dynamic runout models. The output outline the most critical locations serves limit extent necessary field work. Norwegian national susceptibility maps are generally conservative...
Impacts in the form of innovation and commercialization are essential components publicly funded research projects. PHUSICOS ("According to nature" Greek), an EU Horizon 2020 program (H2020) Innovation Action project, aims demonstrate use nature-based solutions (NBS) mitigate hydrometeorological hazards rural mountainous areas. The work is built around key actions, each Work Package (WP) leader specifically responsible for nurturing processes, maintaining market focus, ensuring relevance...

Climate services (CS) are generally recognized as potentially effective tools to communicate climate-related risks the general public, end-users and other stakeholders. However, empirical evidence indicates that there often is a gap in understanding between producers of CS those meant use them. It therefore crucial place stakeholders centre process CS-production identify their actual needs. Facilitating iterative collaborative processes allow provide feedback bridges process-content gap....
Cross-sectorial and cross-disciplinary collaboration, as well public-private partnerships are necessary to handle the complexity of climate adaptation. The Research Council Norway has established Centres for Research-based Innovation ( CRI ) in which research- education organizations, public entities private enterprises join forces 8-year long collaborations. CRI-Klima 2050 focuses on adaptation buildings infrastructure runs several pilot projects innovate new solutions building resilience,...
