Dear Mountain Partnership members and friends,

We would like to share the latest Mountain Partnership news with you.
As most of you know, the Fourth Global Meeting of the Mountain Partnership (MP) took place in Erzurum, Turkey, on 17-20 September 2013. During the meeting, the assembly addressed: the new Mountain Partnership Strategy and Governance; mountains in the Post Rio+20 and the 2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); the Mountain Forum knowledge platform for sustainable mountain development; regional coordination mechanisms; and the selection of the MP Steering Committee. Thematic working groups considered how to put the Mountain Partnership into practice. Parallel regional meetings, Partnership Fairs and side events also took place.
A full report is being prepared and will be disseminated soon. In the meantime, you may read the IISD summary report online here: http://www.iisd.ca/download/pdf/sd/crsvol194num3e.pdf
The meeting brought together more than 100 participants representing, inter alia, governments, academia, research institutions, intergovernmental organizations and civil society. The new MP Strategy and Governance were discussed and approved and the members of the MP Steering Committee were selected. Participants also agreed on the Erzurum Conclusions.
Immediately after the closing of the Fourth Global Meeting of the Mountain Partnership, the new Mountain Partnership Steering Committee convened in Erzurum. The 16 members, each representing an MP electoral group, selected the government of Argentina as Chair and the Arcos organization as Vice Chair, discussed their future work and began planning the development and monitoring of a two-year workplan for the MP. They also confirmed Thomas Hofer as Coordinator of the Mountain Partnership Secretariat.
Allow me once again to express my sincere gratitude to the Government of Turkey for its warm hospitality, the World Bank for its financial support and the participants for their commitment and active participation.
     Many thanks and kind regards,
Thomas
