The European Union Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) involves 7 states and almost 50 regions. For these territories, the Alps with their foothills and lowlands represent a specific asset and challenge. Highly exposed to the consequences of climate change, the Alpine massif needs rapid responses. Tourism, biodiversity, agriculture, mobility, energy… EUSALP encourages innovative approaches adapted to mountain issues. Come participate and share common ambitions at the launch of the French presidency.

Under the honorary presidency of Elisa FERREIRA – European Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Jacqueline GOURAULT – Minister for Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, Laurent WAUQUIEZ – President of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, Renaud MUSELIER – President of the Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur President of French Regions, Marie-Guite DUFAY – President of the Region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, are pleased to invite you to the launch of the French presidency of EUSALP 2020 “Together for a greener Alpine region”.

🧊 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 ...
