CESBA Alps 
CESBA ALPINE SPACE – SUSTAINABLE TERRITORIES
Home
Outcomes

Overview

Sustainable development has to be reflected at local level. At the same time, the local level must be in line with the sustainable objectives defined at national and European level. The CESBA Alps project generated the first tool for sustainable development assessment of territories using a common methodology and a list of 280 indicators, which allow reflecting local standards and degrees in the sustainability field defining for each assessment criterion a territorial performance scale. Moreover, CESBA Alps defined 18 Key Performance Indicators in line with the UN 2030 Agenda and the goals of the EU strategy for the Alpine region (EUSALP) to assess the sustainability territories performance at transnational level.

                                            • CESBA Local Commitees

                                              Strategy
                                              CESBA Local Committees (CLCs) are at the centre of local/regional works in the CESBA Alps project
                                              CESBA Local Committees (CLCs) support transnational cooperation structures by increasing options for low carbon mobility and transport. To define indicators reflecting local priorities and ensure long term results, partners set up CESBA Local Committees. The members of the CESBA local committees are the important stakeholders for the territory in the sustainability field. They can be, for example, politicians from local and regional authorities or sectorial agencies.
