Roundtable “Climate change and the future of the Como area. Adaptation options and good practices”

On July 18, 2025, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the round table "Climate Change and the Future of the Como Area. Adaptation Options and Good Practices" will be held at the Cloister of Sant'Abbondio at the University of Insubria in Como. This interdisciplinary discussion will focus on the effects of climate change on the Como area and adaptation strategies.

Organized by the University of Insubria, the event will bring together academic and practical contributions on crucial topics: hydrogeological risk management, environmental impacts on lake ecosystems, the vulnerability of tourist destinations, and the resilience of mountain areas.

The meeting is coordinated by Stefano Fanetti (University of Insubria) and will feature professors, researchers, and experts from universities, research institutes, associations, and businesses.

Specifically, the panel will address the effects of global warming on the Lake Como basin and its aquatic biodiversity, the combined impact of climate change and overtourism on tourist destinations, and adaptation strategies for Alpine areas characterized by winter tourism.

The roundtable is aimed at scholars, local administrators, tourism operators, and citizens interested in understanding and addressing climate impacts at the local scale.

Admission is free.
