Flooding and erosion in the Alps
Description
I think that there might be conflicts based on the changing water situation. On the one hand, there are the glaciers will melt due to climate change, causing floods and erosion, on the other hand their might be a water scarcety as soon as the water ran off. This also influences pasture land and the infrastructure of the whole area. It is not very likely that violent conflicts will break out. Nevertheless it will be a challange to all the countries depending on water from the Alps.
