Alpine Convention

The Alpine Convention is an international agreement focused on protecting the Alpine region's environment and promoting sustainable development. Established in 1991, it involves eight countries: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Monaco. The Convention addresses issues like air and water quality, biodiversity, tourism, and climate change. It aims to balance environmental preservation with the needs of local communities and economies. By fostering cooperation among these countries, the Alpine Convention seeks to ensure the Alpine region remains healthy and vibrant for future generations while respecting its unique cultural and natural heritage.
