Task 1: To highlight the significance of participation and new decision-making processes

How can new forms of decision making be used to arrive at sustainable solutions, particularly when it comes to negotiating the demands of regional planning in terms of sustainable development? Future in the Alps is to summarise the current standard of knowledge with regard to participation and publish the findings throughout the Alps. Special emphasis is to be placed on the issues of "decision making" and "good governance".

Task 2: To publicise and implement new forms of decision making

Future in the Alps is to gather examples of good practice for new forms of decision making and participation. The examples are to be selected in accordance with their topical relevance to Issues 1 to 4 and 6. Examples of new regional compensatory models are also to be highlighted. By processing the examples of good practice Future in the Alps intends to contribute towards ensuring that new forms of decision making, participation and good governance are applied more effectively in the Alps when negotiating the demands of regional planning.

A team of experts addressed these tasks. The results include an analysis report as well as databases of examples of best/good practice and the relevant publications. These results, which are available in English only, provide the "raw material" used for mediating the know-how. The experts themselves are responsible for the contents of the results.
