 Policy-makers should express clearer commitments. The majority of white books and white papers do not have an implementation section in terms of program and project management, and too often they risk remaining only statements on paper. Policy-makers should express clearer commitments.

   * **Develop a common Alpine strategy for resilience to natural hazards**\\   * **Develop a common Alpine strategy for resilience to natural hazards**\\
 Having examined several Alpine Space Programme projects, we noticed that many recommendations for natural disaster prevention are transferable from one type of natural hazard to another, or they can merge into a common Alpine strategy for resilience to natural hazards. All of these examples lie in the hand of politicians and public administrators, who should motivate their institutions to act towards changing the long-term trend in Alpine land use. Having examined several Alpine Space Programme projects, we noticed that many recommendations for natural disaster prevention are transferable from one type of natural hazard to another, or they can merge into a common Alpine strategy for resilience to natural hazards.

 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. 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.

 +  * **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.\\
