New Global Report 2012: Sustainable Mountain Development Green Economy and Institutions

A new report is available now in the Mountain Pavilion website. This is the "Sustainable Mountain Development Green Economy and Institutions: From Rio 1992 to Rio 2012 and beyond. Global Report 2012 - Final Draft for Rio 2012".

This report presents the key role that mountain societies and resources play in the global green economy. It illustrates the manifold opportunities that mountain regions present for such an economy at global, regional, national and local levels. As well as, highlights the importance and diversity of appropriate, well-conceived, and effective institutions for promoting sustainable development in mountain regions. Examples cover the entire institutional and geographical range from global to local.

As you know mountains provide vital goods and services for the benefit of all humankind, for supporting sustainable development at the global level, and for moving the world towards a greener economy. Twenty years after Rio, the challenge of sustaining the provision of these goods and services has never been greater. The global community must act – a new agenda and strengthened institutional framework for mountain development is urgently required.
