Co-creation of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation strategies for mountain social-ecological systems. This work is often combined with the identification and applicaion of indicator systems to monitor changes and trends in mountainous terrain. The goal is both supporting the sustainable development in mountain regions themselves and ensure the maintenance of ecosystem services to the adjacent lowlands.
Knowledge generation for risk-informed decision making to support the sustainable development of mountain social-ecological systems at all scales. This work aims at building awareness about the importance of healthy mountain social-ecological systems beyond the mountainous terrain itself.
