 Abstract: This poster presents the research framework of the transdisciplinary research project “KIDZ PAZ-NOWn”. The project aims to increase resilience to climate- and water-related natural hazards in Paznaun Valley (Tyrol, Austria), which looks back at a history of extreme weather events and natural hazards. Present-generation climate projections indicate that the region is expected to experience significant changes in temperature and precipitation with respective impacts on water-related natural hazards (e.g. the frequency and magnitude of floods). We apply the WRF-Hydro model, in conjunction with spatially and temporally refined climate scenarios from the CORDEX project, to simulate the impacts of climate change on the hydrosphere in Paznaun Valley. To account for glacier retreat in alpine environments, the new glacier mass balance model in WRF-Hydro will be expanded by a glacier flow routine. Model results will be discussed in a mutual learning alliance to promote a better understanding of the complex interaction between the climate and the water system in alpine regions as well as of the specific needs and vulnerabilities of mountain communities in the backlight of climate change. By strengthening the engagement between juveniles, hazard-relevant institutions from the local community and scientists from different disciplines, the project lays a solid foundation for lasting future resilience and the transformation of societies towards sustainability. As the valley represents a typical Alpine environment and is representative in terms of demographic and educational structure, the findings achieved in KIDZ PAZ-NOWn can be transferred to other alpine settings.
