¡°Mountains under review: human alteration of landscapes including a special feature on the ¡°Mountains of Brazil¡±



16 June 2012

11.00 ¨C 13.00 hours
Auditorium, Mountain Pavilion (Pavilion I), Athletes¡¯ Park, Rio de Janeiro

A welcome message will be delivered by Rita Cardoso C. Delboni from the State of Rio de Janeiro.



A keynote presentation ¡°Mountain comes to Rio+20¡± will be given by Ms. L¨¦a Corr¨ºa Pinto, coordinator of Iguassu ITEREI.  This will be followed by an interactive discussion of a top-class panel of international experts. Key experts from mountain regions, e.g. the Alps, Carpathians, Andes, Hindu©\Kush Himalayas and the representatives of the space sector will demonstrate the human aspect of alteration of landscapes by visualizing the changes. Applied remote sensing and other means will be used with the view of better demonstrating the scale of the impacts, in particular by highlighting the upstream and downstream linkages. The event will also present challenges and concrete opportunities (e.g. in the field of data collection, transfer of data into, and methodologies for measurement for concrete policy action) with the view of generating a better understanding of the changes of mountain ecosystems, and the anthropogenic factors in this respect.
