Cooperation in the alpine Area well established

tluber — 2024-11-19 11:46:02 UTC

Not too much acction "on the ground"

tluber — 2024-11-19 11:48:54 UTC

Experts on different levels, connect via ministries

On a project level, transnational cooperation in the Alpine area is supported by Interreg Alpine Space Programme ("small" and innovative projects)

Contribution AG7 to knowledge hub

tluber — 2024-11-19 11:52:35 UTC

Take steps to create an Alpine KH on restoration (include database of good practices developed by EUSALP AG7)

2024-11-19 11:52:41 UTC

Organize the next meetings of the ABB and the AG7 with a focus on NR, also inviting new participants to enlarge stakeholders' representation (and to reach the sub-national level)

2024-11-19 11:53:43 UTC

Add clearly in the format of NRP the transnational aspects, for example "How your NRP is tackling transational issues?", this will help to highlight european initiatives

2024-11-19 11:54:16 UTC

Table NR on the agenda of one future (but not far) meeting of the Permanent Committee of the Alpine Convention (to reach the national/central level)

2024-11-19 11:54:48 UTC

EU lead and initiatives : LIFE programs, hubs, seminars...

idalinelaigle — 2024-11-19 11:55:34 UTC

organise a network of expertise for alpine restoration

2024-11-19 11:56:05 UTC

Not yet transboundary cooperation at macroregional level for the implementation of a European Law. We are at the beginning of the process and trying to find a way

2024-11-19 11:56:37 UTC

Macroregional strategies as link to political level

tluber — 2024-11-19 11:56:48 UTC

Standardizing monitoring protocols will enable better assessment of biodiversity trends and inform collaborative restoration efforts --> AlpsLife project

2024-11-19 11:56:55 UTC

Good collaborations and shared projects between scientists

idalinelaigle — 2024-11-19 11:57:09 UTC

Be clear: what can the transn. level really offer?

tluber — 2024-11-19 11:57:42 UTC

Proposal already submitted to IUCN (and supported by the ABB) to develop REGIONAL Red Lists for the Habitats and Species of the Alps - can be useful to identify priorities for restoration in the Alps and fullfill the articles of the NRR

2024-11-19 11:58:20 UTC

Don't reinvent the wheel for each country

tluber — 2024-11-19 11:58:30 UTC

Differing political priorities and resource allocation between countries, but also between national and regional levels

2024-11-19 11:58:46 UTC

How to recognize transnational approach as crucial aspect to implement european regulation

2024-11-19 11:58:48 UTC

Some countries have not yet even identified focal points for the NRPs - dofficult to know who the reference people are

2024-11-19 11:59:49 UTC

work with the EEA to have a better view of knowledge of Alpine area

2024-11-19 12:00:19 UTC

Great opportunities to EARLY introduce ideas from the strategies/networks

tluber — 2024-11-19 12:01:26 UTC

Pilot projects for best practices in restoration

2024-11-19 12:01:34 UTC

And trainings, knowledge exchange visits to these pilot restoration projects

NRL (Art. 14) should invite initiatives to contribute early

tluber — 2024-11-19 12:02:35 UTC

Macroregional EU strategy for the Alpine Region as a unifying platform that bring different regional stakeholders together and has visibility at higher political levels

2024-11-19 12:04:22 UTC

Invite new stakeholders!

tluber — 2024-11-19 12:05:22 UTC

Regarding ASP, challenge of possible discrepancy between timeframe of the call for proposals process (publication of ToR, selection process, approval) and its alignment with pressing issues or short timeframes (e.g. national plans drafts to be submitted in sept. 2026)

2024-11-19 12:05:31 UTC

Coordination challenges

2024-11-19 12:06:22 UTC

Increase the "transnational visibility" to the EU level

tluber — 2024-11-19 12:08:02 UTC

Create a pan-Alpine group of experts (including ALPARC!) on NR and propose that members of this group are invited to the national meetings (these experts can refer to the cross-boundary dimension of NR in the Alps)
