Alpine Dialogue
Towards a common vision for energy transition
Besides the increase in renewable energies and their impact, there must be a strong focus on the possibilities of reducing energy consumption. It is important therefore to address the following questions:
- How can energy transition succeed in the Alps?
- Which role should the Alps play in this/these process/es?
- How can all stakeholders become involved in this process of change?
- What kind of society do we want?
- How much energy do we need?
Because these questions are cross-border in nature and concern the whole Alpine region and beyond, CIPRA wished to discuss them with all involved stakeholders. Taking the role of moderator, CIPRA desired to develop a common vision for a sustainable energy transition in the Alps through the “Alpine dialogue”.
The first step in the Alpine dialogue was the workshop held in October 2013 in Lucerne/CH. Workshop information, presentations and results can be found here.
The Alpine dialogue was open to all persons engaged or interested in energy transition from a political, ecological, economic or social point of view.
