Dealing with the climate crisis, preserving biodiversity and ensuring quality of life are key issues for many towns and municipalities in the Alpine region. That is why we invite you to exchange ideas on these topics across borders! In a new webinar series, we will shed light on these key topics of the Multiannual Work Programme of the Alpine Convention, learn from each other and find out more about interesting practical examples.

Organised by the Alliance in the Alps network of municipalities and the Alpine Town of the Year association, the series is aimed in particular at representatives of municipalities. The webinars toffer simultaneous interpreting in German, Italian, French and Slovenian.

Webinar "Nature Restoration & municipalities", 12.12.2024

Nature Restoration: Opportunity for cities & municipalities

Nature is our greatest resource – and our greatest responsibility. With the EU Nature Restoration Law, there is now a law for the restoration of nature. It calls for legally binding, targeted measures to return ecosystems to their original state. At the same time, there is an opportunity to make our cities and communities sustainable and liveable.

Despite all the ambition, there are still many question marks surrounding the actual implementation of the law. What exactly is meant by ‘restoring nature’? What measures do the EU member states envisage? What responsibility does the local level have? How can citizens be involved?

In this webinar, the two networks Alliance in the Alps and Alpine Town of the Year would like to provide assistance and answers, especially for municipalities and towns. In addition to an introduction to the current state of knowledge on the EU Nature Restoration Law, possible effects and obligations for municipalities will be presented and discussed. At the same time, we will use good examples from practice to show that projects to improve biodiversity are an investment in the future and increase the quality of life.

Webinar "Climate & Municipalities, 13.01.2025

Confronting the climate crisis – shaping the future together
The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our time – and at the same time an opportunity to put our old habits to the test and create modern, resilient structures. Towns and municipalities play a key role when it comes to taking climate seriously as a cross-cutting issue, developing solutions and implementing them locally.
What do successful climate change adaptation and mitigation measures look like? What strategies are local authorities already pursuing as role models? How can young people be introduced to a climate-conscious lifestyle?
These and other questions are the focus of this webinar organised by the two networks Alliance in the Alps and Alpine Town of the Year. We would like to provide our member municipalities and towns as well as interested parties with information and use practical examples to show how climate protection and adaptation go hand in hand.
