Catalonia, Spain
Regional Replicators
About the region
Geography: The Catalan Pyrenees stretch around 250 kilometres across northern Catalonia, shifting from high alpine terrain in the west to Mediterranean foothills in the east. The landscape is shaped by glacial valleys, such as the Atlantic-facing Vall d’Aran, and more than 200 high-mountain lakes within Aigüestortes National Park.
Key sectors: Services, tourism (ski and nature-based), agriculture and livestock farming, and forestry
Role: Replicator region
Climate challenges in the Catalan Pyrenees
Loss of snow cover and disappearing glaciers affecting the viability of winter tourism Higher risk of natural hazards (landslides, floods, forest fires) for infrastructure Pressure on traditional rural livelihoods (livestock farming, forestry, small-scale agriculture) from extreme weather, ecosystem shifts and biodiversity loss
