Le compact CIPRA « L’énergie face au changement climatique » donne un aperçu de l’utilisation et de la production d’énergie dans les Alpes et décrit les stratégies nationales et régionales déployées dans ce domaine. Dans le deuxième chapitre, la CIPRA présente ses principales positions . Si nous voulons enrayer le réchauffement climatique, il faut accroître l’efficacité énergétique, mais cela...
The Alps offer some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe - and some of the finest hiking opportunities, from the shadow of the Matterhorn to the idyllic vineyard country of Kahlenberg, Austria. Here is the first complete guide to outdoor recreation opportunities in all the Alpine countries, outlining 43 of the...
The CIPRA compact “Energy” provides an overview on energy use and energy production in the Alps and describes national and regional strategies for climate protection and climate adaptation. Here CIPRA gives its central statement on this issue: if we want to stem earth warming, increasing efficiency is important but not sufficient: we must reduce our consumption of energy services. Renewable...
This CIPRA compact presents an overview of transport-related measures in the Alps to ameliorate climate change and promote adaptations to climate change. The second chapter explains CIPRA's key concerns: Without any change to our mobility behaviour, we will not attain the climate goals! On the one hand, automobile transport must become more expensive, and on the other, transport types benign...
Rainfall-runoff response in temperate humid headwater catchments is mainly controlled by hydrological processes at the hillslope scale. Applied tracer experiments with fluorescent dye and salt tracers are well known tools in groundwater studies at the large scale and vadose zone studies at the plot scale, where they provide a means to characterise subsurface flow. The...
Digital elevation models of Gepatschferner in Northern Tyrol, Austria were obtained with digital photogrammetry from high altitude stereo photo pairs and by digitising an analogue topographic glacier map, for 1990 and 1971, respectively. A difference map was calculated to identify regions of glacier elevation increases and decreases corresponding to glacier mass gain and loss. While the...
Currently, a growing societal awareness of problems in the context of unsustainable development meets with conflicts of interest, and the actual implementation of sustainability research, and sustainable innovations and technologies, has only been mildly successful. Sustainable development demands nothing less than a radical change in their modes of consumption, production, technology, and...
In addition to surveying food production from mountain areas, Euromontana’s 2002-2004 project takes stock of legislation, public schemes and private initiatives directly or indirectly addressing mountain farming and its food production. While the survey covered the eight countries involved in the project (France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Romania, Poland, Norway and the UK) — and the...
The current status of alien plants in the alpine and sub-alpine areas of the Australian Alps is assessed in this article. The number of alien species has increased following the region's use by non-indigenous Australians over the last 170 years. One hundred and seventy-five alien plant taxa have been recorded above 1500 m in the Australian Alps. These taxa are mainly perennials from Europe,...
Regional development in mountain areas and the impact of development on landscapes have been focuses of economic and regional policies in Austria for many decades due to the country's very mountainous topography. A special Support Program for Mountain Farmers was established in the early 1970s. Since the late 1970s, support for regional economies has been defined from a bottom-up...
