Description

The Climate Action Plan 2.0 operationalises the objectives laid out in the Alpine Climate Target System 2050, a strategy focused on the added value of Alpine-wide cooperation on climate change mitigation and adaptation. The Climate Action Plan 2.0 was adopted by the XVI Alpine Conference in December 2020.

It seeks out synergies between different activities across sectors and borders, closing the gaps between actions and activities in order to address climate change – one of the most pressing challenges in the Alps.

The implementation pathways that lie at the heart of this document contribute to the goal of reaching climate-neutral and climate-resilient Alps by 2050. The pathway approach ensures a smart sequencing and combination of measures and identifies measures with re-enforcing impacts. All implementation pathways were developed in a stakeholder approach, integrating inputs and ideas from various stakeholder groups during workshops, feedback rounds and expert interviews. There are between two and four pathways in each of the following 10 sectors:: 

  1. Ecosystems & biodiversity
  2. Energy
  3. Mountain agriculture
  4. Mountain forests
  5. Natural hazards
  6. Soil
  7. Spatial planning
  8. Tourism
  9. Transport
  10. Water
