🔎 "By looking through a spatial lens, our Working Group takes a cross-cutting view on the development of the Alps. We strive to support a sustainable development of the Alpine arc by contributing to an efficient, balanced usage of the limited space that is available," says Josiane Meier, who is Chair of the Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development (SPSD) Working Group for Germany. ⛰️↔️ The Alpine Convention's SPSD Working Group was set up in 2020 to support cross-border and cross-sectoral cooperation regarding spatial development in the Alps, where space is a particularly limited resource and subject to a variety of different usage demands. ℹ️ Find out more about the group's objectives and activities: https://loom.ly/w_CY1ak #AlpineConvention #SpatialPlanning #SustainableDevelopment

🏆 The Alpine Convention was pleased to present its prize for 'Best film on quality of life in the Alps' to Harry Putz at the innsbruck nature film festival - inff.eu! 🎥 The independent, international jury selected the film for showing "the disappearance of Alpine glaciers through breathtaking landscape imagery, capturing the emotional loss and conflicts of interest while giving a balanced voice to alpinists, tourism managers, and scientists." 🙌 Thank you to the team and all the organisers at the INFF for another great festival and we look forward to the next edition! ℹ️ https://loom.ly/An6wZAI #AlpineConvention #FilmPrize #InnsbruckNatureFilmFestival
