Dear Mountain Partnership Friends,

We are writing to update you on the petition calling for action on climate change in the mountains. About 1 500 people have signed thus far. We are grateful for this support but need at least another 3 500 signatures to be heard.

If you have not done so already, please sign the petition. We would also encourage you to invite your friends, families and colleagues to do the same. Share it on Facebook and other social media. Time is running short - we only have until 29 November 2015.

We have tools that may help you promote the petition. Kindly let me know if you would like to receive the social media guide (in English or Spanish) or a small poster with a QR code that takes viewers directly to the petition page on change.org. We also have a sheet for collecting signatures on paper - in case you are going to an event or gathering where connecting to the internet may be a problem. Again, the link to the petition is: http://chn.ge/1Lm8Fpk

Attached is the petition in English, French, Italian, Russian and Spanish.

Thank you!

The Mountain Partnership Secretariat

Subject: Declaration and Petition on Mountains and Climate Change - COP21 - #FOM-MOUNT-WATER-VALUES

Dear Mountain Partnership members,
In preparation for the UNFCCC COP 21 that will take place in Paris during the period 30 November - 11 December, the Mountain Partnership Secretariat in collaboration with key members and under the guidance of its Steering Committee, is proposing the following two actions to focus delegates' attention on the severe impact of climate change on mountains areas and mountain peoples and to have mountains adequately included in the negotiations:
1) An International Petition on Mountain ecosystems and peoples affected by climate change - to be signed by individuals and aimed at mobilizing peoples from all over the world in support of mountain peoples and ecosystems. The petition, if at least 5000 signatures will be obtained, will be presented to the COP21 delegates by the Italian Delegation. To sign the appeal please click here<https://www.change.org/p/unfccc-united-nations-framework-convention-on-climate-change-ensure-that-the-impact-of-climate-change-on-mountain-peoples-and-ecosystems-is-fully-addressed-in-the-unfccc-cop21-new-climate-deal?recruiter=47847342&utm_source=share_pe>. Deadline: 29 November 2015
2) An International Declaration on Mountains and Climate Change - to be signed by organizations and supported by governments. This initiative is led by  UIAA - the International   Climbing and Mountaineering Federation. To sign this Declaration send your agreement by email to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>  under the name of the head of the organization, including her/his signature and logo. If you represent a Government, the support can be expressed in the negotiations rounds. Deadline: ideally 1 October 2015 to use the Declaration at the October sessions of the negotiations.
Kindly help us to spread the world - Mountains and mountain peoples should no longer be neglected!
Thanks for your support,
The Mountain Partnership Secretariat
