The SafeLand work package 3.1 focuses on climate change scenarios for selected regions in Europe. The main objective is to provide information on expected climatic changes in Europe on different scales with focus on meteorological extreme events. These are in particular heavy precipitation events which can act as triggers for severe landslides. Three deliverables, D3.1, D3.2, and D3.3, have been carried out. This report presents a synthesis and discussion of the results. The analysis concentrates on projected future changes in heavy precipitation for four target regions in Europe: Southern Norway, Southern Italy, the Alps, and Romania. In winter a general trend towards more and more intense heavy precipitation events is found in particular for southern Norway. Also, strong trends are projected in mountainous regions. In summer, decreasing trends of heavy precipitation dominate in the simulations over southern Europe. However, increasing trends in the extreme events are found for some r
