“Regional environmental governance” is a concept in [[:wiki:political_ecology|political ecology]] and environmental policy that advocates sustainable regional development as the supreme consideration for managing all human activities (Balsiger & Debarbieux 2011, Brandes & Brooks 2005) ((Balsiger, J. & Debarbieux, B. (2011): Major challenges in regional environmental governance research and practice. In: Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 14, p. 1–8.)) ((Brandes, O. & Brooks, D. B. (2005): The soft path in a nutshell, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC.)). It refers to the processes of decision-making involved in the management of the environment and natural resources (e.g. interference through projects, development plans). The term [[wiki:governance_alpes|“governance”]] includes government, business and civil society, and emphasizes the management as a whole system.

//The overall [[:wiki:alpesbackground|AlpES]] objective is to support the development of an environmental regional governance with the ecosystem service approach.//
