SUMMARY:2025 International Mountain Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated on 11 December annually\, the United Nations’ International Mountain Day is an international observance day whose goal is to raise awareness about the role that mountainous regions play in the lives of people and their importance to our planet. \nThe theme of the 2025 celebration is: \nGlaciers matter for water\, food and livelihoods in mountains and beyond” \nInternational Mountain Day 2025 is an opportunity to highlight the importance of glacier preservation for agriculture\, water security and the livelihoods of vulnerable mountain communities. \nGlaciers\, vast reserves of ice and snow found across the planet\, are far more than frozen landscapes – they are lifelines for ecosystems and communities. Yet\, these critical components of the Earth’s systems are undergoing rapid and alarming transformations with profound consequences for us all. \nThe United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation to raise awareness on the vital role glaciers\, snow and ice play in the climate system and water cycle\, as well as the far-reaching impacts of rapid glacial melt. It aims to promote global collaboration\, strengthen scientific research\, and promote policies and actions to protect glaciers and cryospheric systems. \nGlaciers and ice sheets hold around 70 percent of the world’s freshwater. Their accelerated melting represents not only an environmental crisis\, but a humanitarian one\, threatening agriculture\, clean energy\, water security and billions of peoples’ lives. Their retreat\, driven by rising global temperatures\, is a stark indicator of the climate crisis. Melting glaciers and thawing permafrost increase risks such as floods\, glacier lake outburst floods\, landslides or enhanced erosion and sediment\, endangering downstream populations and critical infrastructure. \nEconomically\, sectors like agriculture\, hydropower\, mountain tourism and transportation feel the strain of glacier changes. For many Indigenous Peoples\, glaciers are sacred\, and their disappearance signifies a loss of identity and connection to nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about the UIAA’s own activities on 11 December will be published shortly.

SUMMARY:2024 International Mountain Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated on 11 December annually\, the United Nations’ International Mountain Day is an international observance day whose goal is to raise awareness about the role that mountainous regions play in the lives of people and their importance to our planet. \nThe theme of the 2024 event is: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMountain solutions for a sustainable future – innovation\, adaptation and youth \nOver centuries\, mountain communities have developed solutions to adapt to their harsh environments\, deal with climate change\, reduce poverty and protect or restore biodiversity. \nThis International Mountain Day 2024 (IMD 2024) focuses precisely on the capacity and needs of its people through a triple approach: “Mountain solutions for a sustainable future – innovation\, adaptation and youth.” \nInnovation is essential for addressing complex mountain-related issues. It encompasses technological advancements as well as creative problem-solving such as climate-smart agriculture. \nWhile dealing with climate change’s pressures on mountains\, adaptation becomes imperative for building resilience and reducing vulnerability. Adaptation strategies include solutions such as ecosystem-based approaches to disaster risk reduction and the integration of Indigenous knowledge systems. \nLastly\, the active participation of youth is essential for ensuring the long-term sustainability of mountain solutions. IMD 2024 promotes decent work and quality employment for young persons\, accessible training\, and entrepreneurship opportunities that contribute to the sustainable use of mountain resources. \nFurther details can be found here. \nInformation about the UIAA’s own activities on 11 December will be published shortly.

SUMMARY:2023 International Mountain Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated on 11 December annually\, International Mountain Day is an international observance day whose goal is to raise awareness about the role that mountainous regions play in the lives of people and their importance to our planet.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRestoring mountain ecosystems is the theme of this year’s International Mountain Day on 11 December. \nThis theme was selected to fully include mountains in the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021–2030\, co-led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN and the UN Environment Programme. The Decade is an opportunity to draw together political support\, scientific research and financial resources to significantly scale-up restoration and prevent further degradation of mountain ecosystems. \n\nMountains cover around 27 percent of the Earth’s land surface and host about half of the world’s biodiversity hotspots. As the water towers of the world\, they supply freshwater to an estimated half of humanity. Mountains are home to an extraordinary range of plants and animals\, and to many culturally diverse communities with different languages and traditions. From climate regulation and water provisioning services\, to soil maintenance and conservation\, mountains are key to our lives and livelihoods. \n\nYet mountains are suffering from the impacts of climate change and unsustainable development\, escalating risks for people and the planet. Climate change threatens the flow of water\, and fast-rising temperatures are forcing mountain species and the people that depend on these ecosystems to adapt or migrate. Steep slopes mean the clearing of forest for farming\, settlements or infrastructure can cause soil erosion as well as the loss of habitat. Erosion and pollution harm the quality of water flowing downstream. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\, up to 84 percent of endemic mountain species are at risk of extinction\, while populations of a range of other montane plant and animal species are projected to decline and face extinction.
