The urban exodus and the climate
by CIPRA International — published Feb 01, 2024 — last modified Feb 01, 2024 08:53 AM — filed under: , , ,
Many mountain regions in the Alps are affected by out-migration. However, climate change is also causing some people to migrate – at least temporarily – from the cities to the mountains, as an Italian research project shows.

Energy in climate change
by zopemaster — published Feb 14, 2012 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: , , , ,
The CIPRA compact “Energy” provides an overview on energy use and energy production in the Alps and describes national and regional strategies for climate protection and climate adaptation. Additional relevant material on the issue can be found in other language versions of this page.

Nature protection in climate change
by zopemaster — published Sep 01, 2011 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: , , , , ,
The CIPRA compact “Nature Protection“ provides an overview on actions for nature protection in the Alps to limit climate change and adapt to it. Through restoring the natural state of bogs and fens, a near-natural cultivation of forests, the revitalisation of rivers and the creation of ecological networks, nature protection can provide an essential contribution to climate protection while also ecologically enhancing habitats in the Alps and protecting the population from natural hazards.

Constructing and refurbishing in climate change
by zopemaster — published Dec 15, 2009 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: , , , ,
This CIPRA compact offers an overview on building projects in the Alps for the reduction and adaptation to climate change. CIPRA shows its main stance on this point: building renovation is a fundamental contribution to climate protection. In new buildings the passive house standard must be introduced in the Alps. The house of the future will even produce energy! Additional relevant material on the issue can be found in other language versions of this page.

Transport in climate change
by zopemaster — published Sep 02, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: ,
This CIPRA compact offers an overview on transport projects in the Alps for the reduction and adaptation to climate change. CIPRA shows its main stance on this point: if we do not change our mobility behaviours, climate objectives will not be reached! Truck transport must become more expensive and environmental transport types must be clearly forced. Additional relevant material on the issue can be found in other language versions of this page.

Spatial planning in climate change
by zopemaster — published Sep 02, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: , ,
This CIPRA compact offers an overview on spatial planning measures in the Alps for the reduction and adaptation to climate change. Spatial planning can contribute with its tools to ensure climate storage areas such as swamps, forests and river areas and prepare areas for the production of renewable energies. It is fundamental that spatial planning decisions regarding space and settlement structures are moved from local to regional level.

Tourism in climate change
by zopemaster — published Oct 07, 2011 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: ,
Climate Change challenges the alpine tourism. On the one hand it has to adapt to climate change, simultaneously it has to become more climate neutral. Especially the sectors of traffic and energy offer huge potentials to CO2-reduction. Authorities have to direct the development into a sustainable direction.

Agriculture in climate change
by zopemaster — published Oct 04, 2011 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: ,
The agricultural sector is directly affected by climate change impacts but it also contributes to the release of greenhouse gases (GHG) and rising concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere. A sustainable climate response strategy in the field of agriculture involves anticipating, planning and long-term thinking from farm level to transnational level. Prominent fields of activity are sustainable land and soil management, sustainable water management, managing manure and soil carbon as well as organic agriculture as an overall strategy. As agriculture is a highly subsidized economic sector, subvention policy can be used as a lever to guide the sector to sustainability and climate neutrality.

Forest management in climate change
by zopemaster — published May 25, 2012 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: ,
Changing climate conditions have a noticeable influence on forests. Forest management must make effective adaptations with a very long-term perspective, taking account of climate change. Forests are not only affected by climate change: they also play a key role in adaptation measures and climate protection. In the 32-page report CIPRA presents the effects from climate change to forestry, formulates its demands and shows good practice examples for climate friendly forest management in the Alps. Healthy, natural forests have to be the response to climate change! The report exists only in German langue. CIPRA's demands which summarize the report are also available in English.

Water in climate change
by zopemaster — published Oct 16, 2012 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: ,
Alpine rivers supply more than 170 millions of people with water. Climate change is going to reduce this water availability in the Alps and also in other regions. Water demand will rise as well as the competition between different stakeholder groups. In the 31-page compact CIPRA presents reports showing the effects from climate change to water utility, as well as political instruments and good practice examples. Because only an efficient water usage is sustainable! Additional relevant material on the issue can be found in other language versions of this page.
