Alpine Convention - Sectoral development of the Green Economy in the Alpine region
Promoting environmentally sustainable growth while recognising ecological limits: the Green Economy is low-carbon, resource-efficient and socially inclusive. This form of economy preserves the Alpine ecosystem while making use of existing natural capital.
Reset Alpine Tourism
"Reset Alpine Tourism" brings together relevant tourism stakeholders to discuss climate protection and sustainable development in tourism.
speciAlps2
More and more people are seeking recreation and balance in the natural surroundings of the Alps. This trend is not only being reinforced by the corona crisis, but also by society’s increasing pressure to perform. This puts increasing pressure on animals and plants, but also on destinations with their infrastructure and inhabitants. It is essential for visitors to be guided: the speciAlps2 project raises awareness of the protection of nature and landscape in the Alps and develops measures to guide visitors.
Green Deals for Municipalities
“Think globally – act locally”: promoting local action requires comprehensive skills and wide-ranging knowledge of the people working locally for climate protection. Partner organisations from Germany, Liechtenstein and Austria are now developing a participatory process under a transnational EU project. The goal is to empower local initiatives to act more effectively on climate protection in a global context.
Alpine Changemaker Network
The Alps, with their diversity and contrasts, offer particular scope for experimentation that combines and develops tradition and innovation. The sometimes adverse living conditions have always required people to be imaginative and flexible to allow them to open up new perspectives. This potential must be made visible and usable for sustainable development.
AlpTick
Having one ticket for all public transportation in the entire Alpine region – this is our vision. The Alpine Ticket (AlpTick) makes travelling in the Alps easier, more sustainable and more attractive for young people. It is an idea developed by the CIPRA Youth Council (CYC) based on its members’ experiences of travelling on public transport in the Alps.
Yoalin (Youth Alpine Interrail)
The pandemic is permanently changing our travel behaviour, according to many sources. Setting off for distant worlds has become more difficult, but there is a noticeable trend towards more regionality and sustainability. The "Yoalin" project has been working on this since 2018 and encourages people in the Alps to explore their immediate surroundings more consciously - using public transport.
YOUTH.SHAPING.EUSALP
To have a say in Alpine policy, to bring in own topics, to exchange ideas with EU politicians: The "Youth.shaping.EUSALP" project makes young people’s and young adults’ voices heard and develops a concrete strategy for the commitment of the youth within the EUSALP. © CIPRA International
Re-Imagine Alps
Relations between humans, and between humans and nature, are the focus of the “Re-Imagine Alps” project. People take responsibility for their environment when they feel concerned and involved. Landscape here serves as a frame of reference and focal point for the perception and communication of sustainability issues: various relationships, memories and visions are illuminated in respect of, by, and for landscape in the overall Alpine context. Responsibilities and obligations grow out of ideas and relationships.
Nature providing services in the Alps
Whether mountain forests that protect us from avalanches and clean our air, or rivers and alpine pastures that provide us drinking water, energy or nourishment: in the AlpES Project ten partner organisations from six alpine countries have evaluated and documented ecosystem services for the past three years. They will present their results on 21st and 22nd November 2018 at a Final Event in Innsbruck/A. Press representatives are kindly invited to attend.
