The MtnPATHS (Pathways for global change adaptation of mountain socio-ecological systems) project kicked off in January 2017, led by Prof. Dr. Adrienne Grêt-Regamey (PLUS, IRL) and Sandra Lavorel (Laboratory of Alpine Ecology, Université Grenoble Alpes). MtnPATHS aims to develop adaptation pathways to achieve specific development visions in two mountain regions (Lautaret in the southern French Alps and Saas-Valley in the Swiss Central Valais) by considering ecosystem and adaptation services.
