Global environmental changes are widely visible, this is especially true for mountainous areas. Temperatures in the alps have warmed almost twice as fast compared to the global average. These changes can influence the susceptibility of critical infrastructure regarding known and unknown natural hazards, cascading as well as compounding risks and e.g. potentially threaten cross-border transportation.Keywords: Geomorphological Hazards, Cross-Border Transportation, Systemic Risk, Impact Chains, Critical Infrastructure, Climate Change, Brenner Corridor
