Searching for climate response measures

2009-06-09

Interested in finding out what people in the Alps have come up with in response to climate change? Well, the examples listed here will certainly give you a broad overview. Some people have set up a wood-fired heating plant and a district heating network in a Swiss village; others operate a call centre and a website to sell tickets for buses to ski resorts; others still are working hard to make an entire district energy self-sufficient.

Country Category of measure Field Source

Good Practice

This search mask allows you to browse through a database containing some 300 projects, initiatives and activities on climate protection or on adapting to the consequences of climate change in the Alpine region. The measures were either submitted in summer 2008 as part of the cc.alps competition or researched by CIPRA for cc.alps. The climate response measures provide the basis for further work in cc.alps, for instance for drawing up theme-based reports or formulating policy.

The measures characterised as “Good Practice” consist of examples which are recommended by CIPRA as particularly worth emulating. The other examples represent the broad spectrum of existing climate response measures. As far as the competition entries are concerned, responsibility for contents rests exclusively with those who submitted them.
The competition entries are available only in the language in which they were submitted. The researched measures are available in English and in some cases in German.

How do I find a climate response measure?
