Projects & activities

Alpine Youth on the Move
Alpine Youth on the Move
The “Alpine Youth on the Move” project strengthens young people's participation in topics such as sustainability, mobility, and political processes. Young people plan and organize activities and gatherings for a community.
FLOW-BIOS
FLOW-BIOS
Nature-based solutions play a vital role in addressing the rising risk of flooding across the Alps, but this requires land that is often privately owned. That is why the FLOW-BIOS project, in collaboration with Austrian and Swiss UNESCO biosphere reserves, is investigating how nature-based solutions can be successfully implemented on private land.
Future Soil Literacy
Future Soil Literacy
Healthy soils play a fundamental role in climate protection. Yet decision-makers as well as the general public still frequently overlook this valuable resource. The project ‘Future Soil Literacy’ uses a variety of methods to provide the knowledge and tools to bridge this awareness gap.
