January 2025
The "Southern Alps Cross-Border Alliance", announced in February 2024 by the Metropole Nice Côte d'Azur, the Province of Imperia and the Province of Cuneo, presented its roadmap on November 29th, 2024, in Nice.
The aim of this alliance is to strengthen cooperation between the French and Italian territories, in particular by promoting a ‘shared living space in the Southern Alps, as a key element of European integration for the territory's inhabitants’. It sets out concrete objectives in priority areas such as transport and mobility, sustainable development and climate risk management, water management, access to public services, social and health cooperation and the promotion of bilingualism.
According to Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Nice and President of the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolitan Area: ‘With this common roadmap, we are going to propose joint solutions to defend the interests and well-being of the region's inhabitants, whether they are French or Italian! This Southern Alps Alliance will enable us to speak with a single voice to raise awareness among national, intergovernmental and European bodies, in order to release funds to carry out projects for our citizens.
The next step will be the installation of the first rotating presidency of the Alliance by the Nice Côte d'Azur metropolitan area, in Nice in spring 2025.
