Leaving home, staying connected

Over the course of a year and a half, the OUT4INGOV project focused on the issue of youth migration in the Alps and implemented innovative measures in the three pilot regions of Maribor (Slovenia), Trentino (Italy) and Vesoul (France). The project concluded in mid-July 2026 with a conference in France.

Legal dispute over Alpine transit: environmental organisations fear a domino effect
On 21 April 2026, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg heard Italy’s transit case against Austria. It must decide which takes precedence: the free movement of goods, or the protection of people and the environment. In an open letter, 67 environmental organisations are calling for the transit restrictions and air quality measures on the Brenner route to be maintained.
International Youth Camp - Mountaineering to the Remains of the Triglav Glacier
International Youth Camp - Mountaineering to the Remains of the Triglav Glacier
The shrinking of the Triglav Glacier is one of the most direct pieces of evidence of climate change. Due to the continuous reduction of its area, we are likely the last generation that can still observe the remains of the Triglav Glacier in person. Young people aged 18 to 29.9 from Austria, Italy, Liechtenstein, and Slovenia have the opportunity to take part in a unique multi-day event dedicated to exploring this very glacier. The event will be held in English.

Three years for living soils: Ground:breaking takes stock
Through the Ground:breaking project, CIPRA has spent three years demonstrating how sealed soils can be revitalised – and why this is crucial for the climate, biodiversity and quality of life in the Alpine region.

Act now to protect forests: sign the #HandsOffNature petition!
More than 40 percent of the Alpine region is covered by forests. They are not only a defining feature of the landscape, but also a cornerstone of Alpine livelihood, providing building materials, supporting biodiversity, and delivering essential ecosystem services.

AfterAlpineIce
What will the Alps look like without ice and glaciers? The climate crisis is accelerating glacier retreat and fundamentally transforming the Alpine region. What may at first appear to be a change in the landscape has far-reaching consequences: ecosystems and water cycles are being disrupted, soil development is changing, local climates are shifting, and natural processes in high mountain areas are being permanently affected.

The Alps have a rich heritage of using and processing local natural fibres, such as wool, hemp, flax and silk. Yet much of this potential remains untapped today: regional processing infrastructure has largely disappeared, traditional knowledge is being lost, and much of the value creation takes place outside the Alpine region. At the same time, the textile industry is seeing growing demand for sustainable and circular alternatives.
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.
