The mobility of goods and persons is a key area of the social and economic development. The inhabitants of the central and peripheral Alpine regions also benefit from improved accessibility. The consequences of increasing traffic are much greater than in the lowlands. Pollutants and noise potentiate their effect in narrow valleys. One part of the solution? Choose sustainable means of transport! Thank you dear Yoalins for choosing the train!
Alpine Convention is a binding treaty under international law. It connects all Alpine countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovenia and Switzerland) with aim of protection and sustainable development of the Alps. Concrete steps are set in Protocols, divided by topics as: spatial planning and sustainable development, nature protection and landscape conservation, mountain farming, mountain forests, tourism, energy, soil conservation, transport and solution of litigations. Different working groups are establiched according to the current needs. Their responsibility consists of studying ongoing processes, developing recommendations and implementing instruments. They are usually set for a two-year term and may work in subgroups for specific topics.
