Description
By developing consistent and comparable regional climate scenarios for mountain regions, with a focus on Mountain Biosphere Reserves (MBRs), the project aimed at the development of a state-of-the art integrated and implementable research strategy to gain a better understanding of the causes and consequences of global change in a selection of 28 UNESCO MBRs around the world. The results of this research strategy serve as a basis for MBR managers and other stakeholders to develop sustainable development policies for their respective MBRs. In order to meet its objectives, the project has integrated activities and knowledge from both (natural and social) science and from UNESCO Mountain Biosphere Reserve managers. The Research Strategy was finalized in December 2005 and is now at the disposition of researchers and managers as pdf or printed document.
