The Alpine Climate Board (ACB) of the Alpine Convention is pleased to invite you to a webinar exploring key insights from our recent report “Cross-sectoral Energy Governance – How Cross-sectoral and Integrated Governance Approaches Can Accelerate the Transition Towards Climate-Neutral and Climate-Resilient Alps”. The report examines effective governance mechanisms for the energy transition with a specific view to cross-sectoral interfaces to other Alpine-relevant topics – such as water, tourism, spatial planning, mountain agriculture, and financing. It offers insights into managing and leading collaborative energy governance and highlights the crosscutting nature of the energy transition, urging a rethinking of governance frameworks to tackle emerging challenges.

Join us to learn more about the lessons learned from our Energy Governance report and to discuss follow-up activities for the Alpine Climate Board. This webinar will showcase pilot projects that tackle the interfaces between energy and other sectors and give you the opportunity for some networking with related stakeholders.

We are excited to have Dr. Tanja Tötzer (Austrian Institute of Technology), Stefan Drexlmeier (Energiewende Oberland) and Etienne Jouin (Association des Centrales Villageoises) on board for this occasion to provide impulses for our discussion
