Introduction

LIFE-SIP PYRENEES4CLIMA project aims to implement one of the first cross-border climate change strategies in Europe led by 6 regions and one state in a mountain area through the Pyrenean Climate Change Observatory (OPCC) of the Working Community of the Pyrenees (CTP). The strategy targets a mountain range, the Pyrenees, with one of the highest biodiversity values in Europe and where climate change is producing impacts on surface processes, natural resources, and economic activities.

Strategy Overview

The Pyrenean Climate Change Strategy 2050, EPiCC, was approved on the 13th of December 2021 by the Presidents (highest authority):

  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
  • Occitanie
  • Aragon
  • Catalunya
  • Euskadi
  • Navarra
  • Andorra

This strategy covers 254,766 km² with a population of 23.5 million inhabitants. EPiCC is also participated in by the representatives of the Spanish and French Ministries of Ecological Transition.

Project Pillars

The project is organized on 5 main pillars:

  1. Understanding climate impacts
  2. Increasing resilient natural areas
  3. Adapting the mountain economy
  4. Protecting the population and territory
  5. Enhancing a new governance

The proposal's singularity is a joint commitment, ensuring the multi-sectoral and multi-territorial dialogue to effectively and efficiently address climate change policies.

Experience and Participation

This proposal builds on 12 years of experience of OPCC, a flagship initiative of the CTP, and is reinforced by a participatory process involving over 600 participants. In addition, the CTP-OPCC and the 6 European regions involved are part of the European Adaptation Mission and are active members of the Adaptation Community of Practice.

Consortium and Implementation

The consortium involves administrations and recognized entities specialized in different thematic areas, representing all the territories. They have experience in management and cooperation and are organized in well-defined levels of responsibility, with a medium to long-term implementation vision. This structure aims to become a real accelerator in the adaptation to climate change in mountain regions in Europe and contribute to the EU Adaptation Mission.
