We have the pleasure to remind you that a side event on mountains will be held on 16 July 2018 during the High Level Political Forum. Organized within the framework of the Mountain Partnership, it is led by the Government of Andorra jointly with the Governments of Argentina, Chile, Italy, Switzerland and UNDP.
Side Event
Leading Sustainable Mountain Development
16 July 2018
Conference Room 8
18:30-20:00 hrs
We kindly ask you to ensure that your government will be represented.
In spite of their global importance for the services they provide, mountains and mountain peoples are still neglected globally.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – explicitly recognizing the role of sustainable mountain development with the inclusion of three mountain related targets under two of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG6 and SDG15) – provides a unique opportunity to ensure that mountains are fully included in the development processes.
The main objectives of the side event are:
• To advocate for pro-mountain policies and actions in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda at the country level;
• To encourage the submission of VNRs from all Mountain Partnership member governments and from all mountain countries at large;
• To build a coalition of mountain governments to increase international attention and investments in mountain areas for the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
We look forward to meeting you!
