The Motto is:

Safe living space through new ways in risk management

The Alps are one of the most beautiful and valuable habitats in the world. The transformation of society and the effects of climate change have led to significant changes in recent years and present new challenges for risk

management for the development of a safe habitat in the mountains. The EU Strategy for the Alpine Region offers an opportunity to respond to these particular challenges of the Alpine space in close cooperation with 48 regions and seven states.The high-calibre afternoon event offers the audience insights into cooperative approaches on how to jointly protect the Alps as a living and economic area for sustainable development. The proposed solutions are then critically examined and discussed in a podium discussion by representatives from politics, practice and research.
