Discovering common ground
by zopemaster — published Jul 08, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: ,
Liechtenstein is a small country, so you’re always bumping into people. And although everybody sort of knows everybody else, they don’t really. Energy-efficient construction is a bit like that. Or rather, it was until October 2009. It was then that CIPRA, which is better known for using its climalp project (see box) to circulate know-how on energy-efficient construction and renovation throughout the Alps, brought its own people together for a change.

And yet it moves!
by zopemaster — published Jul 08, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: ,
Evian/F, March 2009. A huge, windowless room with cold artificial lighting. The only link to nature inside the conference centre is a spectacular bouquet of flowers picked, it would seem, from beyond the Alps. Seated at long tables are the Environment Ministers and State Secretaries of all the Alpine states.

CIPRA prepares a seed bed for new ideas in the Alpine region
by zopemaster — published Jul 08, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM
CIPRA addressed a broad range of issues at its Yearly Symposium entitled “Growth come hell or high water? The Alps in search of happiness” in Gamprin/FL in September. A look at the global cycles and modes of action provided the framework for the topic. CIPRA also looked at the close ties with the Alps, where those global cycles have an impact, and promoted dialogue at various levels. The Symposium was very favourably received by more than 200 participants from all the Alpine countries.

Leisure: car-free mobility
by zopemaster — published Jul 07, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: ,
Leisure activities that do not involve the use of cars are now "in", as the increasing number of information packs clearly shows. The Alpine Club South Tyrol (AVS) for instance recently published five new brochures, each featuring 15 to 20 hiking routes whose starting and finishing points can all be reached by public transport. In the series Hiking Without Cars the Alpine Club has compiled a total of some 300 hiking tips for the whole of South Tyrol. As the AVS remarks in a press release, "It should be a priority for tourist regions to adopt measures that promote the use of public transport for travel both to and from destinations as well as for activities at the holiday destination itself".

The "brain drain": an opportunity for the Alps?
by zopemaster — published Jul 07, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM
Highly qualified people are also leaving alpine regions to move to other regions or countries. But according to a study by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Alpenländer (ARGE ALPE) Working Group the Alps can put this brain drain to a positive use. Indeed these brilliant minds are also multipliers and image carriers for their homeland around the globe, a fact that should be capitalised on.

Dear colleagues,
by zopemaster — published Jun 30, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:26 AM
One of the main challenges in the process of implementing the Alpine ecological network is involving all the relevant stakeholders. The Ecological Continuum Initiative supports this goal in different ways. On the one hand with printed information material (fact sheets and the brochure), on the other hand by organizing meetings that offer a chance for personal interactions and exchange among stakeholders. Such a workshop on stakeholder integration took place in Dobbiaco/I this April.
