💡 Did you know that MountResilience is implementing solutions in 6 Demo Regions? In the #localcouncils different technical expertise from the demo regions is pooled and possible measures are discussed together. 👨💻 Last week, Tyrolean representatives met at Standortagentur Tirol for the first Local Council Meeting. The focus was on key risks in the areas of #heatislands and #tourism in #mountain areas. In a co-creative process, #naturebasedsolutions for climate adaptation in Tyrol will be developed and tested over the next three years.

The German-Albanian Economic Forum hosted a discussion event on the development of tourism in #Albania in the presence of the Albanian ambassador, #AdiaSakiqi, and invited me as a panelist. I emphasised that #Albania has great potential, especially in the area of nature and outdoor tourism, and that it should therefore focus more on the topic of #sustainability and decentralised management structures in tourism in the future in order to make tourism development future-proof and competitive in the long term.

Immigration and sustainable mobility are touchy subjects individually these days. Now imagine that you combine them. In Brandenburg. But I am so excited for having said yes to Klaas Glenewinkel's request to support his initiative with bikes. The Exile Media Hub is a space for refugees with a background in creative industries to... find and build a new home while they are not at home. For good reasons, it's located in a sparsely populated part of Brandenburg where people usually say they need a car for anything. And for many people, I recognize that's true. And yet for many of the same peoples' WAYS, I claim that's false. One of my keywords in managing Diamant's marketing over the past six years is 'freedom'. And I believe that bikes can add to freedom anywhere. And for anyone. I'm a migrant. I'm a privileged migrant. I know how many feel overwhelmed by migration, or actually: Overpopulation. But we don't solve overpopulation if we just contain it at places that are not ours. And our fears cannot make us blind to human rights and... empathy. People are calling for mass deportations. What if one day I'd be one of those deported? Privileges can change fast. I'm from Berlin, from close to the border with Brandenburg. I don't often miss home when I'm away. But when I return to Berlin or to Brandenburg's solitude, I feel that I care about my roots. You've probably never heard of Schmerwitz. I've been there. 15 years ago. There's no higher place in Brandenburg to reach by bike. That's why. When I first read Klaas' pitch, I thought about a weekend in another deserted place in Mecklenburg, sleeping in an old brick-stone farmhouse between other old brick-stone farmhouses. The church 10 meters tall, 15 meters long, made from timber-frame walls, enclosed by a wall of big solid rocks that you'll find anywhere in those glacial areas, hidden under a thin layer of dusty sand. Somewhere around the corner, a bigger anonymous apartment block doesn't fit the village vibes. It's left from a socialist past when lots of guest workers came to work for the local cooperative. They brought wealth. They brought poverty when they left. Same as in Schmerwitz. Locals have invested their passion into keeping their villages livable. In Schmerwitz, the locals have agreed to host the Exile Media Hub and share the fruits of their efforts with newcomers. I strongly believe this is a super important project. For the inhabitants of the Exile Media Hub. For the inhabitants of Schmerwitz. For the honest discussion about what bikes can and cannot add to rural mobility. For us. And I am sure that another super important project is just within the boundaries of your own sphere of influence. On every opportunity we cannot jump. And yet: Don't trump. Dare to grab yours. Not a footnote: We ourselves got support of Dr. Robert Peschke's Little John Bikes (thank you for your role in this, Sascha Leps) in delivering the bikes to Schmerwitz. #neuemobilität #refugees #brandenburg #cycling

I am honored and thrilled to just have accepted to give a presentation at the Mobility Conference organized by BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN in Deutscher Bundestag on 17 November 2024! https://lnkd.in/dcjjXupj I will speak about the direct effects and co-benefits of promoting active mobility - cycling and walking in particular - which largely outweigh negative effects, such as through air pollution or road crashes (at least in countries such as Germany). Here two earlier publications with more information: -> Can air pollution negate the health benefits of cycling and walking? https://lnkd.in/dJWQZFSD -> Health impact assessment of active transportation: A systematic review https://lnkd.in/d5b6q52i Fernfachhochschule Schweiz Francesca Racioppi Public Health Schweiz Sciana | The Health Leaders Network
