UN/S-G: Report on Sustainable Mountain Development

This report prepared in response to UN/GA Resolution 64/205 includes a number of policy recommendations, inter alia, encouraging:
- institutions to increase coordination;
- greater engagement by civil society and the private sector;
- the formulation of strategies, programmes and policies to address mountain issues;
- strategies of adaptation and mitigation of climate change that consider mountain issues; and
- integration of adaptation and mitigation into National Adaptation Plans of Action (NAPAs).

The report notes that mountain regions face many challenges, including climate change, and calls for a prominent place for sustainable mountain development in UNCSD (Rio+20)
