The event was held at the Vienna International Centre and it also benefitted from the support of the Austrian Environmental Agency, the Austrian Ministry of the Environment and the European Academy Bolzano (EURAC).
The meeting focused on mobility and sustainable tourism, with a special focus on the accessibility in mountain areas in the Alps and the Carpathians, on the basis of the project “Access2Mountain”. The workshop was attended by over fifty experts and representatives coming from ten countries of the areas of the Alps and the Carpathians.
The event provided a special opportunity for the exchange of experiences and best practices between the two Conventions and for strengthening the importance of developing further forms of cooperation and synergy between the Alps and Carpathians, also considering the upcoming adoption of the Protocol on Sustainable Transport of the Carpathian Convention.
