The ‘Climate & Municipalities’ webinar on 13 January 2025 provided an overview of innovative approaches and proven measures in the field of climate action, specifically tailored to the challenges and potential of Alpine towns and municipalities.
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.
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.
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.
The network strengthens the position of the individual cities. This enables them to make their voice heard on an international level.
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.
