The article provides a review of measures that were submitted to the Adaptation at Altitude Solutions Portal (A@A Solution Portal), which was created to foster an exchange of information among mountain regions to promote short-and long-term measures that can help address impacts of climate change. The research explores the characteristics, feasibility, and transformative potential of the solutions that were added to the portal.

Skip navigation Extreme heat, massive floods, and ever-longer droughts caused by climate change are intensifying in magnitude and intensity across the globe. Forests are threatened by increases in the average global temperature and human-driven economic activity. Artificial intelligence and Earth observation technologies present opportunities to improve environmental sustainability, promoting Sustainable Development Goals through more efficient forest management and stewardship.
