Bienvenue à notre nouveau membre: l’Institut de Recherche de Norvège de l’Ouest

Le Western Norway Research Institute (WNRI) – Institut de Recherche de Norvège de l’Ouest vient de rejoindre Euromontana.

L’Institut de recherche de la Norvège de l’Ouest est un institut  de recherche axé sur les affectations situé à Sogndal, dans le comté de Sogn et Fjordane, sur la côte ouest de la Norvège. Créé en 1985, l’institut effectue des recherches dans trois domaines clés: le changement climatique et les questions environnementales, le tourisme, la technologie et la société. L’Institut de recherche de la Norvège de l’Ouest emploie actuellement 30 personnes et a un chiffre d’affaires annuel d’environ NOK 27 millions.

Sogndal

Le principal objectif de l’institut est d’être un institut de recherche ancré à l’échelon régional sur le domaine de la recherche nationale et internationale, en proposant des solutions fondées sur le savoir aux défis sociétaux actuels tout en contribuant à l’innovation et au développement durable.

 

Le développement du haut débit dans les régions rurales du comté montagneux de Sogn og Fjordane a été un thème de recherche de longue date à l’institut, et WNRI s’est engagé dans un partenariat régional visant à accroître le rythme de l’installation à large bande, améliorant l’attractivité de les lieux éloignés et peu peuplés.

WNRI a également un vif intérêt pour le tourisme d’aventure. Les thèmes de recherche de l’institut dans ce domaine comprennent la valeur des activités basées sur la nature en tant que motif de règlement, les expériences des utilisateurs dans le tourisme d’aventure, les systèmes de gestion des activités de plein air et les activités extérieures durables. Le phénomène du tourisme de masse vers les destinations de montagne pittoresques telles que Trolltunga et Preikestolen en Norvège de l’Ouest est devenu l’objet d’un projet de recherche planifié. La question la plus urgente dans ces domaines, où des dizaines de milliers de randonnées et où les opérations de sauvetage sont fréquentes, est la façon de protéger les visiteurs des destinations de randonnée dans le cadre de la législation existante.

D’autres exemples de recherches relatives au développement durable dans les zones de montagne incluent la planification et le développement durables de la deuxième maison, ainsi que le transport durable dans les zones rurales. WNRI a mené plusieurs projets de recherche sur les questions de politique et de gestion dans les régions de montagne, générant des connaissances sur la gestion de l’utilisation des terres, l’adaptation au climat, la protection de l’environnement, la cybersanté, la numérisation et le développement durable.

Euromontana se réjouit de collaborer et d’une future collaboration avec le WNRI.

❄️ Winter may seem to have arrived, but climate change is shortening the season and making snowfall less reliable...leaving mountain resorts with a stark choice: close or adapt?⛰️ Head to Austria to discover how the Sankt Corona ski resort has responded to this challenge and turned a climate risk into a regional asset, as part of the Interreg Alpine Space - TranStat project: www.euromontana.org/sankt-coronas-response-to-climate-change-diversifying-tourism-for-a-resilient...👉 Explore our good practices database: www.euromontana.org/good-practices-database/ Photo credits © Wexl Arena St. Corona am Wechsel ...

🧊 Glaciers matter for water, food and livelihoods in mountains and beyond. This is what we are highlighting this year on 11 December, International Mountain Day.Every year, this day provides an opportunity to emphasise the crucial importance of these areas in terms of natural resources, biodiversity, identity, cultural heritage, ways of life, and more resilient models. However, all of this is under threat from climate change, poorly targeted funding and negative perceptions of pastoral professions.Today, we are putting the spotlight on these endangered ice giants throughout our mountain ranges!Did you know that: 💧The Alps alone provide 40% of Europe's fresh water?💡Glacier retreat will reduce hydroelectric energy production by an average of 10% in the Alps and by up to 35% by 2070 compared to today?🌱68% of irrigated agricultural land in the plains depends directly on water runoff from the mountains? ⛰️By 2034 the Pyrenees will be ice-free?📢An appropriate governance of glacier is needed to counteract the rapid changes!🧊 By signing the manifesto for better European governance of glaciers alongside 80 other organisations, we are calling for immediate and targeted political responses to the economic, social and environmental impacts of climate change.Have a look 👉 www.euromontana.org/european-manifesto-for-a-governance-of-glaciers-and-connected-resources/ #IMD2025 #InternationalMountainDay #MountainsMatterMountain Partnership ...
