Un rifugio alpino svizzero su tre è a rischio a causa dei cambiamenti climatici: scioglimento del permafrost, rischio di frane e scarsità d'acqua
Der Schweizer Alpen-Club (SAC) warnt: Jede dritte SAC-Hütte ist durch den Klimawandel gefährdet. Auftauender Permafrost, Felssturzgefahr und Wassermangel bedrohen die Bergunterkünfte. Der SAC plant Anpassungen, braucht aber dringend Geld.
