SAVE THE DATE
Dear Mountain Partnership Members and Friends,
Mountains will receive significant attention this year at the IUCN World Conservation Congress with several events.
We have the pleasure of inviting you to:
“Mountain Partnership Briefing and Member Consultation”
4 September
17:00 to 19:00
Room 305A



The event will introduce the Mountain Partnership and review its recent activities, progress and challenges in advancing the global mountain conservation and sustainable development agenda. It will undertake a question answer/information session on the Mountain Partnership and will be focus on the Partnership’s work in advocacy, joint action, capacity development and communications.


“Mapping the vulnerability of mountain peoples to food insecurity”, a study conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization and Mountain Partnership Secretariat, will be presented. An alarming 39 percent of the mountain population in developing countries, or 329 million people, is estimated to be vulnerable to food insecurity. This figure gives voice to the plight of mountain areas, where hunger is prevalent.



Event Conveners: Andrew Taber (The Mountain Institute, Mountain Partnership Steering Committee Chair), Doug MacGuire (FAO, Steering Committee member), Ali Raza Rizvi (IUCN, Mountain Partnership member organization).
For more info : http://www.mountainpartnership.org/news/news-detail/en/c/430711/



The other specifically mountain-related event you are encouraged to attend is:
“Mountain Protected Areas: Leadership for adapting to a changing world”
A Knowledge Café
4 September
14:30 to 16:30
Room 311-8

The key discussion topics will be prioritizing for action the protection of currently unprotected Key Biodiversity Areas in Mountains and how support may be given to protected areas in the Alpine Belt as they change and adapt to the impact of climate futures. Many and varied experienced mountain folk have already indicated their willingness to participate by leading conversations around those topics and the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) has kindly provided access to the latest data and maps.



The outcomes will guide the future priorities and actions of the IUCN/WCPA Mountain Specialist Group and we look forward to reporting on the discussions soon.
