Climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in Europe
Enhancing coherence of the knowledge base, policies and practices. The report assesses current practices and level of know-how, and highlights emerging innovative tools national, regional and local authorities are using to tackle the impacts of weather- and climate-related hazards.
Number of landslides reported in Italy (1998-2001)

Overview of National datasets at European level
The figure shows an overview of data availability on historical landslides in Europe. Data are available almost for most European countries either from national databases (red) or regional databases (blue).
Expected variations in abundance or activity of four landslide types, driven by the projected climate change
Expected variations in abundance or activity of four landslide types, driven by the projected climate change.
Landslide susceptibility for weather induced landslides: ICG (left) and b) JRC models (right)
A distinct difference can be observed between the two models, where JRC model in general defines larger areas being exposed to landslides than the ICG model. This already shows that classification of landslide zonation maps is subjective and depends on the choice of the experts. The classified hazard map of JRC is definitely more conservative although it does incorporate hotspots of known hazard such as north-west Scotland, which the ICG model does not. Red circles show possible hotspots. White colour represent region without landslide hazard.
Landslides in Italy
The map shows: LEFT: Distribution of landslides with human consequences from AD 1300 to 2002. The size of the triangle indicates the intensity of the event. RIGHT: Landslide susceptibility map of Italy.
Landslides in Slovenia, 2000

Mapping the impacts of natural hazards and technological accidents in Europe
The report assesses the occurrence and impacts of disasters and the underlying hazards such as storms, extreme temperature events, forest fires, water scarcity and droughts, floods, snow avalanches, landslides, earthquakes, volcanoes and technological accidents in Europe for the period 1998-2009.
