Climate Change Adaptation of Geo-Structures in Europe: Emerging Issues and Future Steps

Climate change is already being felt in Europe, unequivocally affecting the regions’ geo-structures. Concern over this rising, as reflected increasing number of studies on subject. However, majority these focused only slopes and a limited geographical scope. In paper, we attempted to provide broader picture potential climate impacts geo-structures Europe by gathering collective view geo-engineers geo-scientists several countries, considering different geo-structure types. We also investigated how geo-structural concerns are addressed national adaptation plans. found that specific provisions for generally lacking mainly come form strategies problems. regard, two common hazard/risk assessment monitoring, which implemented relation slope stability. recommend future steps, other likewise given attention, particularly those assessed potentially significantly affected change. Countries considered study member countries European Large Geotechnical Institutes Platform (ELGIP).
