Based on a comparative analysis and stakeholder interviews, the study investigates five European mountain countries – Austria, Spain, Italy, Romania and Slovenia – and draws a comparison with the French case. It provides recommendations to stakeholders in mountain areas and policy makers at all levels, which are specific to the needs and challenges of these areas to enable better adaptation to climate change.
