This initiative is organised by the OECD Trento Centre for Local Development and the UNESCO Dolomites Foundation. The initiative is part of the activities of the Network for Training and Scientific Research of the Dolomiti UNESCO Foundation, co-ordinated by the Autonomous Province of Trento with the support of TSM|STEP School for the Governance of Territory and Landscape.
The three-day capacity-building initiative will explore key drivers of change, including climate change, demographic shifts, and local development policies. With an emphasis on practical strategies, the programme will focus on aligning global trends with local realities to promote sustainable and adaptive solutions.
Participants will engage in discussions on strategic thinking, climate adaptation, local productivity and demographic shifts, including exploring the localisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for mountain areas. Through sessions and workshops, participants will explore good practices for aligning SDG principles with local needs, ensuring progress on environmental protection and inclusive development. This approach promotes resilience and sustainability, while protecting the Dolomites World Heritage Site.
