"Together For a Sustainable Alpine Region"
February 2020
The French presidency of the EU strategy for the Alpine Region, launched on 4 February in Lyon, intends to move into higher gear regarding the ecological transition within this transnational space among the most vulnerable and under threat due to climate change.
Led by the ANCT (National Agency for Territorial Cohesion), this presidency is shared with the regions Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, Bourgogne Franche Comté and Provence Alpes-Côte d’Azur. “The Alps are at the heart of Europe. They are its spinal column, its highest point, and its water tower”, underlined Jacqueline Gourault, the French minister for territorial cohesion and relations with local and regional authorities, on the occasion of the launch conference.
