CIPRA Österreich

The Austrian Agency of the International Commission for the Protection of the Alps (CIPRA) with offices in Vienna and Innsbruck was founded 30 years ago. CIPRA Austria is an umbrella organisation of nine NGOs and nine regional goverments in Austria. CIPRA works for the sustainable development in the Alps. It also supports the preservation of Alpine natural and cultural heritage, the maintenance of regional diversity, and problem-solving in the Alpine region across national borders. In this way, CIPRA follows an integrated approach that brings together all of these aspects. CIPRA also supports the implementation of the alpine convention.
