 //__Environmental protection__//\\
+  * **Be proactive**\\
+The role of civil servants in environmental protection is, first of all, an ethical commitment, which starts with the awareness they are at the centre of a system that can influence the future. Being proactive could be the synthesis of an attitude that demands constant engagement to foster the efficiency of public policies.
+  * **Make governance a component of the environmental protection process**\\
+The responsibility in implementing environmental protection policies includes the will to be an essential part of the governance process, not refusing to face the dynamic evolution of Alpine territory. An example comes from spatial development strategies and projects, where one can find many practical recommendations for the sustainable development of settlements, services provided by them, and mobility. White books describe transferable governance strategies that should serve as a guideline for regions and territories seeking to implement some specific tools. Other projects present more detailed recommendations that should help in better taking into account services of general interest within legal frameworks; for example, in spatial planning.
+  * **Use new technologies**\\
+Even new technologies, especially advanced GIS based tools, can help spatial planners to steer land use in such a way as to preserve natural habitats and also allow sustainable development and production.
+  * **Combine long-term thinking and project action**\\
+Politics should work on a short-term agenda: long-term objectives are essential to address trends, but project action, perhaps as part of long-term strategic thinking, is a critical component of environmental governance. Defining and respecting intermediate goals could be a good approach to correcting or changing long-term strategies that turn out to be adapted to effectively attain the expected results.
+==== Recommendations to the Alpine Space MA in order to put more emphasis on spatial development issues in 2014+ ====
+  * **Converge towards common action**\\
+The Alpine Space Programme could contribute to this approach. Starting with the beginning of the programme period, it could be useful to include a capitalization project for each priority axis, aiming to immediately highlight the most important actions to implement for climate change adaptation, natural risk management, and environmental protection, and addressing these findings to policy-makers.\\
