From the future we want to the future we choose: highlights from the

Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Over 70 representatives of governments, IGOs and NGOs sat together as equals at the Third Global Meeting of the Mountain Partnership held on 19 June 2012, in the spirit of the type 2 initiative that was established 10 years ago in Johannesburg by the United Nations. Participants in the meeting filled up the auditorium of the Mountain Pavilion, set up at the Athletes' Park in Rio de Janeiro.
Held eight years after the Second Global Meeting in Cusco (Peru) in 2004, some members found the moment historic, in light of the momentum generated by the sustainable development talks at Rio+20 on the future we want. "Three paragraphs on mountains now form part of the outcome document* and that is largely our collective achievement as members of this Partnership," said Ambassador Acharya of Nepal's Mission to the United Nations in his keynote speech.
Lasting about three hours, the meeting included a video message by Reinhold Messner, first ambassador of the Mountain Partnership<http://youtu.be/meDv0_4oBFk%20>. Synergy, holistic cooperation and collaborative implementation were among the recurring keywords of the meeting. "The Heads of State here at Rio speak about the weather, climate, water and biodiversity. Which points to a single thing: mountains," affirmed Carlos Minc, State Environment Secretary of Rio de Janeiro and former Minister of Environment of Brazil. "This means specific policies for creating national parks and responsible ecotourism. The government of Brazil adheres to the ideals of the Mountain Partnership and wishes to become a member."
