cc.alps showcases future mobility in the Alps
by zopemaster — published Nov 01, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: , , ,
In September CIPRA focused on the issue of sustainable mobility and transport as part of cc.alps and co-organised two events on these topics.

cc.alps to continue in 2010
by zopemaster — published Dec 14, 2009 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:15 AM — filed under:
The cc.alps project continues in 2010 with a focus on more in-depth research and dissemination of the knowledge generated, above all by promoting specific projects at the municipal level, and also by organising and participating in international events.

cc.alps: CIPRA Demands – Energy self-sufficient regions
by zopemaster — published Nov 03, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:14 AM
Not having to depend on energy imports: this vision holds great fascination for many regions. Self-sufficiency is “in.” There are already many very positive approaches and examples of attempts to go down this road. At the heart of all the concepts is the idea of meeting demand through regional renewable sources of energy, saving energy and using energy more efficiently. Anyone who systematically takes this approach in an attempt to create an energy self-sufficient region changes the face of their region and its structures – to the benefit of their own economy, society and the environment.

cc.alps: CIPRA Demands on Energy
by zopemaster — published Nov 04, 2009 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:14 AM
In order to limit global warming, first of all it is important that we use energy more efficiently. Yet this will not be enough for operating in a way that climate can sustain. We must radically change our energy consumption and our consumption of energy-intensive goods and services. Experience shows that consumption only goes down when clear political signals are sent - which include legislative initiatives, rewarding energy saving and punishing waste. The switch from fossil to renewable energies must be forced - but not to the detriment of nature. Biomass production, the installation of wind power turbines and new hydroelectric power stations in the Alps hide many potential conflicts. The environmental, social and economic consequences of climate projects must be carefully assessed and compared.

cc.alps: CIPRA Demands on Nature Protection
by zopemaster — published Nov 04, 2009 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:14 AM — filed under:
When climate changes, nature feels it. Mountain areas are particularly sensitive, and the greatest losses in terms of plant and animal species may occur precisely there. According to scientific estimates, almost every second plant species in the Alps is threatened with extinc-tion by 2100. For the flora with the highest number of varieties in Central Europe this would be an enormous loss. Because of global warming, also well-known animal species such as the Alpine ibex, the snow grouse and the mountain hare will experience far worse living con-ditions in the Alps.

cc.alps: CIPRA Demands on Spatial Planning
by zopemaster — published Nov 26, 2009 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:14 AM
The Alps are different. The Alpine range is characterized by special features that need to be taken into account in spatial development and climate protection.

cc.alps: CIPRA demands on transport
by zopemaster — published Nov 04, 2009 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:14 AM
Transport, in particular by car and truck, is one of the main causes of climate change. In the Alpine countries transport accounts for more than 25 percent of the release of greenhouse gases and is of special importance in the increase of these gases since 1990. A wrong development, running counter to the political objective to reduce exhaust emissions. In the Alps, the percentage of journeys made by car is higher than European average.

cc.alps: CIPRA's demands for agriculture
by zopemaster — published Aug 04, 2011 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:14 AM — filed under:
The agricultural sector is directly affected by climate change impacts but it also contributes to the release of greenhouse gases (GHG) and rising concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere. A sustainable climate response strategy in the field of agriculture involves anticipating, planning and long-term thinking from farm level to transnational level. Prominent fields of activity are sustainable land and soil management, sustainable water management, managing manure and soil carbon as well as organic agriculture as an overall strategy. As agriculture is a highly subsidized economic sector, subvention policy can be used as a lever to guide the sector to sustainability and climate neutrality.
