Case Study 2: ALPS
Aim
Provide stakeholders with tools to manage the potential cascading and compounding effects of cross-border transportation disruptions.
Why
Small events can have far-reaching consequences, often unpredictably threatening the stability of critical infrastructure.
Why Alps
Infrastructure across the Alps linking northern and southern Europe is essential for local communities and cross-border transportation. Global environmental change is already more pronounced in mountainous areas, with scenarios predicting more extreme events.
Where do we want to go
Understand the linkages between hazard events and the impacts they trigger, integrating both qualitative expert input and quantitative data-driven analysis.
