·       Promote advocacy action for the conservation and sustainable use of mountain biodiversity, and sustainable food systems.

·       Ensure international commitment to secure land tenure and provide access to productive resources to mountain communities.

·       Share and build upon initiatives for diversifying livelihoods to safeguard decent work opportunities, particularly for youth in rural areas.
