Young Alpine people are committed to a climate-resilient Alpine Region
We would like to invite you to an important opportunity to share your views on the climate emergency, in particular concerning the situation in the Alps. This during an online session called “Young alpine citizens are committed to a climate-resilient Alpine region” which will happen on December 10th from 1:00 to 3:15 p.m. This session is jointly organised by the Alpine Convention, the European Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) and the AlpWeek partners (a group of NGOs and networks of Alpine organisations dedicated to sustainable development in the Alps).
This session will include different parts, amongst which the final of Pitch Your Project, the award ceremony of the Photo Contest of the Alpine Convention, the presentation of the European Commission’s Youth Manifesto and also a slot for a dialogue between generations.
As climate and youth are among the priorities of the French presidencies of EUSALP and the Alpine Convention, and as the 2020 highlight events of these two presidencies are scheduled on the same day, the AlpWeek organisation committee proposed an open dialogue between young people involved in different projects or groups in the Alpine space and the members of the EUSALP and Alpine Convention delegations.
"The aim is to create bridges between people who contribute to decision making processes and young people in the Alps. But most importantly, we want to give young people a platform to voice their opinions, ideas and expectations, in particular in the frame of European cooperation programmes and institutions." - say the moderators Claire Simon and Luisa Deubzer.
For this time slot, we are looking for young alpine citizens willing to contribute a statement in response to one (or several) of the questions below:
