Temperatures in the Alps have risen almost twice as much as the global average over the last century. And they are set to rise even more, especially if the Alps themselves continue to consume around 10% more energy per capita than the European average. However, clever and innovative adaptation or mitigation initiatives are increasing in local and regional alpine areas facing to climate change consequences. The challenge is thus to make best practice become minimum standard if we want climate neutrality in the Alps be achieved within the next 40 years. Here is the aim of the Alpine Space project «Alpstar. Toward Carbon Neutral Alps – Make best Practice Minimum Standard» through the collection, analysis, comparison, testing and implementation of climate protection measures in 12 pilot regions all the over the Alps. It is now our turn to make mountains reach the stars!
Objectives
ALPSTAR encourages the capitalization, diffusion and implementation of proven good practice measures in reduction of climate change and preparation of cross-sectoral strategies and action plans toward carbon neutrality on regional and local level. – Read more
