International Mountain Day

International Mountain Day is celebrated every year on December 11 to promote sustainable mountain development. This year, with the theme ‘Mountains Matter for Youth’, the focus is to encourage young generations to take the lead and request that mountains and mountain peoples become central in the national and international development agendas, receive more attention, investments and tailored research. All this would help in conserving natural resources, which are being threatened by climate change, and arresting migration that leads to abandoned agriculture, land degradation and a loss of cultural values and ancient traditions.
