Piano Clima 2040
Nell’ambito della strategia di sostenibilità della Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano “Everyday for Future – Insieme per la sostenibilità”, il “Piano Clima Alto Adige 2040” persegue l’ambizioso obiettivo di raggiungere la neutralità climatica entro il 2040 attraverso misure realizzate in una serie di campi d’azione.
Progetti di ricerca nel quadro del Piano Clima 2040
Il campo della ricerca prevede il coinvolgimento e la cooperazione degli enti di ricerca locali nel fornire risposte scientifiche alle sfide poste dai cambiamenti climatici. A tal fine, la Provincia ha lanciato alla fine del 2024 un bando per il finanziamento di progetti di ricerca scientifica su temi strettamente legati agli obiettivi contenuti nel Piano Clima. I progetti hanno una durata di due anni.
I progetti vincitori sono elencati di seguito:
