RUMRA, the EP Intergroup on Rural, Mountainous and Remote Areas, has launched its website

From now on, you can not only find online information on the structure of the new RUMRA intergroup of the European Parliament and its members, but also learn more about news, events and updates by visiting its new web site.

This intergroup on Rural, Mountainous and Remote Areas was officially launched in March 2015 and aims at standing for those living in non-urbanised areas of Europe, which are often underrepresented in public dialogue. Mercedes Bresso, Member of the European Parliament, if the president of this initiative. Together with Mrs. Bresso, three grass-root organisations: Euromontana, Rurality – Environment – Development (R.E.D) and the Future of Rural Energy in Europe (FREE initiative) were responsible of the creation of this intergroup. Nowadays, the intergroup is supported by a wide range of civil society movements and also by a growing number of Members of the European Parliament.

For more information, please visit RUMRA’s brand new website.

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 👏 ...
