1 Introduction (1) > Need to produce dynamic susceptibility maps in changing contexts Short-term prediction Long-term forecasting (Global Changes). > In FP7-Safeland project, development of methods to integrate climatic scenarios in landslide hazard mapping Precipitation, ETP, Temperature (distinction Rain/snow) Spatialization over large areas (up to department scale) > 3 > 2
1 Introduction (2) > But, to really represent future evolution of landslide hazards, also necessity to address land-use changes > SAMCO : implement risk mitigation strategies in an integrated way How climate controls mountain hazards occurrence; How mountain risks will evolve in the Anthropocene (Land use change); How the main economic, social and political stakeholders interact for the definition of adaptation scenarios at the region scale. Climate Change Human Activities Landuse Landslide activities > 4
2 - Climate change and land use change through global socio economic scenarios The developed methodology for constructing prospective socio-economic scenarios is as follows : - Identifying national and global strong trends and driving forces likely to influence the socio-economic evolution of the municipality up to 2050 and 2100 - Downscaling national context scenarios at local scale - Story-telling of four narrative scenarios at local scale : abandonment of the territory ; sheeps and woods ; a renowned tourism resort ; green town - Validation and spatial characterization of scenarios (LUCC model) > 5
