5.6. Webinar: From Intelligent Land Use to Sustainable Municipalities

Impuls4Action aims to trigger actions to support sustainable development on all levels by providing appropriate tools, raising awareness and finding new models for sustainable soil protection in the Alps.

In three thematic pilot cases:

1. Water management in Alpine soils,
2. Inner Development and
3. Peatlands,

with different impact paths on soils, the project aims to collect data for Toolbox. With workshops, the needs of target groups and relevant stakeholders will be analysed and they will provide the basis for the structure of the toolbox which will merge existing information, integrate results of on-going projects e.g. “Links4Soils” and create cooperation starting from awareness-raising events to involvement of all stakeholders concerned
