Under the Austrian presidency of the Alpine Convention an international conference entitled "The Role of Women in Mountain Regions" will take place in Alpbach/Tyrol on 18-19 April 2017.
Sustainable development is vital for the mountain regions. Often it is the women who are particularly aware of the changes occurring in their environment and engage with initiatives to confront these changes. The aim of the conference is to provide information, along with fresh input and ideas, and to provide a forum for an exchange of experiences and networking for all those who are interested.
The conference “The Role of Women in Mountain Regions” focuses on the unique role of women in mountain regions and examines their indispensable contribution to the protection, preservation and development of these regions.
