At the 10th Alpine Conference held in Evian/F the Alpine states today debated a common approach to climate change.

Besides general formulations the climate action plan finally adopted by the Conference does contain a few concrete measures - thanks not least to pressure from CIPRA. However these measures are far too tentative to genuinely take climate protection in the Alps forward.
