The AlpES project's overall objective is to introduce ecosystem services as a regional/transnational environmental governance framework and train and support the AlpES target groups in understanding, valuing and managing them.ConstraintsN/A Product requirementsEcosystems and their services go beyond national borders and need a transnational approach for their dynamic protection, sustainable use, management and risk prevention. As a basis for joint action, public authorities, policy makers, NGOs, researchers and economic actors - the AlpES target groups - need a common understanding of ecosystem services, comparable information on their status and support in using appropriate tools for integrating them in their fields of work. AdvantagesMore than 20 key stakeholders from the Alpine Space will be involved personally in the project development in order to enter into a mutually profitable dialogue, including assistance in practically applying the ecosystem services concept.AlpES lasts from December 2015 to December 2018 Linkshttp://www.alpine-space.eu/projects/alpes/en/home Contact detailsLeadpartner EURAC - European Academy of Bozen/Bolzano/IT Caroline Pecher | +39 0471 055 321 | caroline.pecher@eurac.edu
