Considering that

the mountain ranges are the water towers of our planet,

the mountaineers, in cooperation with the large population centers of Piedmont, are rallying together to adopt adaptation strategies in response to global change that is taking place, and to prevent the risks of droughts and floods. Elected officials, water managers and scientists are invited to meet together to share ideas, debate and promote joint management of the water, at the lever of upper basins.

Les ressources naturelles sont limitées. Y compris dans les Alpes. Nous devons en faire un usage parcimonieux et raisonnable. Mais cela ne doit pas nous empêcher de bien vivre, au contraire, car avec notre créativité nous pouvons trouver des solutions qui respectent notre environnement. Parfois cela implique aussi de ne pas intervenir, de se « retirer », de ne rien faire. A quoi ressemblent ces solutions, qui n’impliquent pas une consommation toujours croissante de la nature et de ses ressources? Comment pouvons-nous amplifier et démultiplier les nombreux concepts et initiatives qui existent déjà en termes de sobriété et de gestion durable des ressources ?

Nous vous invitons à débattre et chercher des réponses à ces questions, parmi d’autres, lors de la conférence annuelle 2014 de la CIPRA sur le thème « des solutions créatives face à la raréfaction des ressources ». Elle se tiendra du 13 au 15 novembre 2014 à Annecy.

Vous trouverez prochainement de plus amples informations sur www.cipra.org/fr/ca2014 .

Nous nous réjouissons d'ores et déjà de vous retrouver à Annecy pour des débats passionnants !

Sincères salutations
