Tyrol Declaration

This seminal declaration was adopted by the Future of Mountain Sports Conference, Innsbruck, 6 – 8 September, 2002. The UIAA has been a close promoter of the declaration since its publication and is currently working on an additional annex to reflect some of the developments in climbing and mountaineering over the past twenty years.

In 2025, inspired by the Tyrol Declaration, the UIAA Mountaineering Commission published the UIAA Declaration on Climbing, Hiking and Mountaineering.
