Biosphere Management/Community Assistance Sustainable Development

The Entlebuch region has been working for a number of years on pooling different activities in a variety of sectors and on developing a common objective. A milestone was reached when the region was accepted as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2002.
As part of the DYNALP project the management of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch (UBE) is pursuing a project designed to promote the population's awareness of an active, future-oriented and sustainable development. Its aim is to facilitate co-ordination and assist the transfer of know-how to the individual communities and through to the population itself.

Co-ordinating community projects as part of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch (UBE), optimising the use of resources, creating synergetic effects and ensuring the exchange of information, mobilising the communities' own initiatives

Realization:

The community players involved exchange information about their activities at a workshop, state their needs and draw up joint action strategies. They are assisted by the UBE Regional Management.
