The Nockberge Biosphere Reserve Youth Forum for young people and young adults
The 21st century is increasingly facing major challenges. The rise in temperature alone will change natural and cultural landscapes. In the Nockberge Biosphere Reserve, however, these form the basis of life for agriculture, tourism and society. The status of “Biosphere Reserve” offers the opportunity to deal with the new living conditions in the best possible way: with foresight, in a coordinated manner and regionally accepted.

The Nockberge Biosphere Reserve attaches great importance to involving the local population in its development. The ideas, visions and conceptions of young people and young adults are particularly important. In order to make the Nockberge region attractive as a future living and working space for the 15 to 30 age group, the biosphere park regularly organises youth forums.

EuroMAB

The EuroMAB network comprises all European and North American member states participating in the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) programme and the World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR). EuroMAB is the largest and oldest of the nine regional and interregional MAB networks. It consists of 36 countries, including Canada and the USA, and comprises 302 biosphere reserves (BRs).

Thereby, it places great emphasis on the inclusion of young people in the equitable and participatory planning of sustainable development in biosphere reserves.
