International conference: ALPSTAR: Toward Carbon Neutral Alps - Make Best Practice

The goal of the Alpine Space Project “ALPSTAR, Toward Carbon Neutral Alps – Make Best Practice Minimum Standard”, is to achieve climate neutrality in the Alps by 2050. At the initial conference on 27th and 28th October 2011 in Chambéry participants will discuss the policy requirements on energy, transport and the economy in order to reach climate neutrality in the Alps. Concepts for good climate governance and effective means of communication to engage the population are to be presented. Working groups will further discuss policy measures, strategies and challenges of selected aspects of climate neutrality. Participants will learn about good practice examples of sustainable climate protection initiatives by taking part in a half day excursion in Chambéry.

The attendance of the conference is free of charge. Presentations are translated simultaneously into German, French, Slovenian and Italian. The detailed programme is coming soon.
