23 4 Introduction Current and future climate in the Alps Potential impacts Conclusions
24 Pressures on socio-economic systems The Alps are a region with a high population density, high-value economic activity and expensive infrastructure Climate-induced disruptions to the natural environment will have significant impacts on socioeconomic systems Lack of snow winter tourism Changes in seasonality of runoff hydropower Extreme events and geomorphologic risks enhanced costs for the insurance industry Changes in heat and moisture régimes disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture
