Abstract
Climate change is already influencing the natural environment, society and economic activities in Alpine regions. It is high time to monitor the impacts and to develop region-specific adaptation and mitigation strat egies. In 2018 Eurac Research published a report that analysed climate change impacts on the natural environment and on society with a fully interdisciplinary approach, involving researchers of different disciplines, experts and public officials. Moreover, a series of indicators have been identified for quantifying climate change impacts on the different sectors. The report has been written in rigorous but plain language, for a wide audience of stakeholders, interested people, school students and public administrators. In this poster, we present the major impacts of the current climate trends on the water cycle and water resource management in South Tyrol. Results show an increase in water demand for agriculture, with possible increasing water conflicts, which will require changes in current water management policy.
