The Alpine Convention – an international treaty of 1991 signed by eight countries of the Alpine arc and the European Union and aimed at the sustainable development of the Alpine chain – would like to know your opinion on these questions. Placed under the Slovenian presidency for the period 2023-2024, it summarizes as follows:

The living conditions of residents go beyond economic performance and standards of living. This is why the concept of quality of life – which also includes the personal perceptions of individuals and the cultural and value structures of a society – is at the forefront of public policies and reflection on sustainable development (…) Alps can offer a high quality of life to its residents, but to benefit from it, we need to understand what makes each region unique and what quality of life means to residents. »
