Euromontana’s booklet of good practices for a sustainable recovery in European mountains

As we start a new year, Euromontana releases its annual collection of initiatives, showcasing inspiring good practices from all over Europe (UE and non-UE). This booklet is the result of the exchange of good practices carried out by Euromontana in 2020, in order to promote initiatives capable of supporting a sustainable recovery and of building smarter mountains.

From access to health to rural broadband, mobility, mountain agriculture and products, energy, sustainable tourism and climate change, among others, these good practices demonstrate that alternatives exist to enhance the quality of life of mountain communities and foster sustainable development in our regions.

How can distance learning support the maintenance of small schools in mountain villages? How can a mountain village make a smart use of its natural assets to produce sustainable energy? How can access to basic health services can be ensured thanks to social innovation and cross-border cooperation? How can youth be better included in public decisions and governance in mountain areas? Find out in our 2021 booklet of initiatives for a sustainable recovery in European mountains!

Do you want to share your initiative with other mountainous regions? Send us your good practice!

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
