Managing alpine future II - International conference 2011
During the three-day-event, current and future impacts of climate change in the highly sensitive mountain regions and their repercussions on ecological, demographic, socio-economic and cultural processes will be discussed.
Managing Alpine Future II focuses on sustainable adaptation strategies and technologies for mountain regions and takes an intensive inter- and transdisciplinary perspective and aims at effective cooperation and exchange between stakeholders from science, economy, politics, administration and the private sector as well as non-governmental and international organizations.
The conference will be organized in parallel sessions around seven core themes, which are: Climate Change, Natural Resources and Ecology, Tourism and Energy, Society and Culture, Ethics and Politics, Spatial Planning and Hydrology.
Furthermore, the organizers are pleased to announce Paul Crutzen, Jack Ives and Mojib Latif as plenary speakers.
