Biodiversity: thanks to the consolidated experiences gained from chairing the Alpine Biodiversity Board (ABB) since 2019, Italy intends to enhance Alpine biodiversity, highlight the vulnerability of mountain and Alpine ecosystems, and capitalise on the contributions of mountain regions to the achievement of the global biodiversity goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Through the ABB, Italy will continue to work on the technical aspects to support the Contracting Parties through the Interreg AlpsLife project and the elaboration of a specific Alpine Biodiversity Action Plan building on the policy brief prepared by the previous Slovenian Presidency.

Climate change: Italy seeks to promote a dialogue on local climate adaptation initiatives for Alpine municipalities. The aim is to highlight the actions carried out in Alpine countries and share consolidated and experimental principles and methodologies at the pan-Alpine level. This should foster – also in marginal municipalities – conscious local adaptation, the implementation of the Alpine Climate Action Plan 2.0 (CAP 2.0), and the development of resilient Alpine communities and centres according to policies in line with overarching adaptation plans. The Italian Presidency also intends to promote, through schools, environmental education and awareness of the impacts of climate change in the Alps among younger generations.

Alpine population and culture: the demographic, social, and economic data from the 5^th Report on the State of the Alp  on Demographic Change should be integrated and updated to guide policies in: the sustainable development in the sphere of climate change, the promotion of mountain and rural territories, and the repopulation of these areas. Other actions will include the elaboration of an Alpine Culture Strategy articulated in thematic and transversal actions, as well as the promotion of cultural initiatives inspired by the Alps on the occasion of the celebrations and initiatives to be implemented as part of the events for Gorizia-Nova Gorica European Capital of Culture 2025. 

Cooperation with other mountain regions: since the Italian Presidency 2001-2002, the Alpine Convention has been promoting dialogue and the exchange of experiences with mountain regions beyond the Alps in order to foster common principles and actions for the sustainable development of mountain territories. An important action will therefore be to pursue the Alpine Convention's international mountain cooperation initiatives in different regions around the world and in particular with the Northwest African mountain region (Morocco-Algeria-Tunisia).
