“Netzwerkstatt Alpen” ceremonially opened
The official inauguration of the building, an open day and a visit from the “Klimaspuren”: a number of events took place at the “Netzwerkstatt Alpen” in Schaan/LI on the occasion of World Environment Day and the Alpine-wide Climate Hour.
“None of us can achieve sustainability alone: this requires partnerships between the state, civil society and business”, emphasised Sabine Monauni, Liechtenstein’s Minister for the Environment and the Economy, in her welcoming remarks at the opening of the “Netzwerkstatt Alpen”.
After the inauguration set for last autumn was postponed, the new headquarters of CIPRA International, LGU (Liechtenstein Society for Environmental Protection) and VLGST (Association of Liechtenstein Non-Profit Foundations and Trusts) was officially inaugurated before a small circle of invitees. Katharina Conradin, President of CIPRA International, describes the “Netzwerkstatt Alpen” as a place of social energy where solutions to the major Alpine problems are jointly and enthusiastically addressed. “In future this will be where philanthropy meets ecology, and charitable finance meets committed environmental protection”, says Daniel Hilti, leader of the municipality of Schaan.
