A newsletter informs you regularly on the project’s news. It can be subscribed to here free of charge.
Workshops
In four workshops we will talk about, show and discuss how the Alps can be transformed into a carbon-neutral Region. Good practices from pilot regions in all Alpine countries and success stories of climate protection, improving quality of life, will be presented. The workshops will take place between autumn 2012 and spring 2014 in several Alpine towns. More
Initial conference
At the initial conference on 27th and 28th October 2011 in Chambéry
participants discussed the policy requirements on energy, transport and
the economy in order to reach climate neutrality in the Alps. Concepts
for good climate governance and effective means of communication to
engage the population were presented. Working groups further discussed
policy measures, strategies and challenges of selected aspects of
climate neutrality. Participants learned about good practice examples of
sustainable climate protection initiatives by taking part in a half day
excursion in Chambéry. More
