Mountains to be featured at climate change summit
Mountains and water will be the focus of a large exhibition and event space at the 20th session of the Conference of Parties (COP20) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Lima, Peru, on 1-12 December 2014. Mountains and water are one of five topics that will be featured in discussions, exhibits and videos at five separate pavilions located at the Jockey Club del Peru, a few blocks from the COP20 venue. The other four issues that have been identified as priorities in a changing climate are forests, oceans, energy and sustainable cities.
The Mountain and Water Pavilion will centre on four themes:
· Water, Glaciers and Basins;
· Ecosystems, Biodiversity and Food Security;
· Integrated Climate Risk Management; and
· Goods and Services, and Sustainable Investments.
The Pavilion, organized by the Ministry of Environment of Peru; Swiss Development Cooperation; CONDESAN; Belgium Technical Cooperation; Inter-American Development Bank; National Water Authority; SERNANP; International Potato Center; and CARE, will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. throughout COP20.
Please find attached the information prepared in Lima by members of the Organizing Committee of the Mountain and Water Pavilion to invite the Mountain Partnership, its Secretariat and all other relevant international institutions to participate, propose events and contribute to Pavilion's Program. If you interested in participating please contact Laura Avellaneda, [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, and Miguel Saravia, [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
