How can cities and municipalities actively contribute to the restoration of nature? This question was the focus of the webinar ‘Nature Restoration and Municipalities’, which was organised by the two networks Alliance in the Alps and Alpine Town of the Year on 12 December 2024.
Numerous members of the association gathered in Nova Gorica/SL at the end of September for the general assembly to discuss current issues and actively shape the future of the association.
A look back, a look forwards: twenty years after the first AlpWeek, the eighth edition of the international conference brought over 200 people to Nova Gorica/SL to discuss what is important in the development of the Alpine region. The ‘Alpine Town of the Year’ association was involved in the preparations, realisation and follow-up of the Alpine Week, which also included our general meeting.
The title "Alpine Town of the year" has become a trademark and a concept of quality for our town Sonthofen. The "we" feeling, which was created by the involvement of the population, still has an effect in many activities today.
The network strengthens the position of the individual cities. This enables them to make their voice heard on an international level.
Alpine Town of the Year association engaging on the basis of Alpine convention stands for cooperation, mutual learning and constant improvement with the aim of increasing our citizens quality of life.
