Like its sister the AlpineWeek which is held every four years, the Alpine Week Intermezzo is an international event organised jointly by the most important Alpine organisations committed to sustainable development and mountain protection. The city of Nice, located at the end of the Alpine arc, will host this year’s event, which is free of charge, in an extraordinary alpine atmosphere. The Intermezzo Alpine Week 2020 will be held alongside with of the closing events of the French Presidency of the Alpine Convention and of SUERA and will allow a meeting between the actors of these different Alpine cooperation frameworks.

 

Topic

Youth & Climate – What involvement of Alpine youth in its future?

The living environment and jobs that are considered typically “Alpine” today will probably not be so tomorrow, not least because of climate change. The focus of the Intermezzo Alpine Week 2020 will be on what this means for the younger generation. How do young people perceive the changes in landscapes and natural environments linked to climate change? What environment will they live in?

Are you a young person, a member of an association, active in an educational institution, a guidance or career development centre, a researcher, a civil servant, an elected representative or an Alpine citizen? Join the AlpWeek Intermezzo and share your views and experiences in order to sketch out answers together to facilitate the involvement of young people in this rapid evolution of environment, societies and economies.

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 👏 ...
