StampaITALIAN EUSALP PRESIDENCY 2022 SIX AREAS OF ACTION The 2022 Italian EUSALP Presidency will be chaired by the Autonomous Provinces of Bolzano/Bozen and Trento. The Presidency will focus on six areas of intervention, with the goal of working together for a more sustainable, digital and well-governed EUSALP area.
1. Tackling climate change
by promoting energy efficiency
and energy transition

energy efficiency;
Achieving decarbonisation of the energy system

and sustainable local development
Closely involving regional and local administrations
to stimulate the process of ecological transition and
technological innovation.
Strengthening the connection between central and
peripheral areas to enhance accessibility to services,
innovation and digitalisation by channelling EU and
national funds towards this ambitious goal;
Encouraging young people to stay or move
to the Alps by making it a place to live, work, innovate,
invest and raise a family.
3. Youth empowerment within EUSALP
Developing young people’s skills through meetings,
training and events, so they become ambassadors
of EUSALP in their own regions;
Strengthening their relationship with the Action Groups.
For the European Year of Youth, our young people
will become leading forces for change.4. Reinforcing collaboration
with the Action Groups
Strengthening cooperation among EUSALP bodies;
Integrating Action Groups within the context of EUSALP
implementation in a more performance-oriented manner, ensuring
support for their activities in the long-term.
5. Guaranteeing the continuity of the
initiatives launched: sustainable
tourism and transport; cooperation on
natural risk management and spatial
planning, multifunctional forests
Promoting cooperation on natural risk management
and spatial planning, and taking the next steps in the
dialogue on multifunctional forests;
Promoting a common roadmap for the decarbonisation
of transport in the Alpine Region;
Maintaining the momentum towards the development
of a network of mountain resorts committed to
ecological transition and year-round diversification.
6. Strengthening EUSALP
governance and embedding
Streamlining and strengthening the embedding process
through the Financial Dialogue Networks;
Developing EUSALP governance by supporting
the implementation of the Technical Support Structure
