Innovation to counter emigration

Emigration and the brain drain in the Alpine region: a new EU project involving CIPRA aims to counteract this trend. It is testing innovative governance models to strengthen mountain regions and create a win-win situation for regions of origin, destinations and young emigrants.

Autumn 2010 is to see the start of the first climate projects as part of a transnational LEADER project initiated by CIPRA. LEADER regions from Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia and dedicated regions in Switzerland and France want to implement sustainable climate response measures and exchange their knowledge and experience at workshops and field trips.

cc.alps is interested in developing exemplary climate response measures from its cc.alps competition. Project managers are invited to update the progress and developments they have made since 2008.
Compacts for everyone!
Compacts for everyone!
The cc.alps compacts not only deal with issues relating to the Alps, they also reflect the diversity of languages across the Alpine arc. Indeed, the Transport compact is now available online in Italian, French and Slovenian.

Showcasing cc.alps results and raising the awareness of target groups at events throughout the Alps remains firmly on the agenda for 2010, too.

[Project completed] Only minimally impacted by human intervention, areas with limited infrastructural development in the Alps provide European societies with a wide range of ecosystem services, such as the conservation of biodiversity and climate regulation.

AlpInnoCT
[Project completed] The Alps are a sensitive ecosystem that has to be protected from pollutant emissions and climate change. The alpine road freight transport has enormous ecological and sociocultural effects on the alpine habitat. Most actors such as forwarders, port operators, administrations and consumers, are aware of these negative effects and they are working on their own technical or regulatory solutions. However, a constructive and participatory dialogue between all involved actors, in order to promote sustainable freight transport within the Alps, has not been established so far.
AlpES
AlpES
[Project completed] Ecosystems and their services go beyond national borders and need a transnational approach for their dynamic protection, sustainable use, management and risk prevention. As a basis for joint action, public authorities, policy makers, NGOs, researchers and economic actors – the AlpES target groups – need a common understanding of ecosystem services, comparable information on their status and support in using appropriate tools for integrating them in their fields of work.
