State of the Alps

The Ad-hoc expert group for the preparation of the sixth Report on the State of the Alps “Greening the Economy of the Alpine Region” has been set up at the XIIIth Alpine Conference in Torino. It consisted of nominated members from the Alpine countries and has been strongly assisted by its observers, the Permanent Secretariat and a contracted consultant. The report analyses the status of the development towards a Green Economy in the Alpine region with a range of indicators and good practice examples. Furthermore, a workshop with the Alpine Towns of the Year and expert interviews with relevant stakeholders from the Alpine region generated additional input for the drafting of this report.
