This international training program examines mountain ecosystems in the context of human development and natural resources, principles of natural resource management, and resource management for sustainable conservation. Using case studies from a wide range of contemporary natural resources around the world, the program examines how different social, political, economic, cultural, and gender dimensions compete for and sustain natural resources in mountain ecosystems. The program also examines how environmental activists and their interventions conserve parks, energy, water, and land in the face of climate variability based on a gendered perspective. The program will examine how the contemporary international and development system designs and processes sustainable management of available natural resources in mountain landscapes.
The program aims to equip researchers, students, practitioners and young educators who wish to study mountain ecosystems and sustainable development with the practical approaches, knowledge and skills needed to meet the challenges of sustainable natural resource use on a global scale. This international training program is delivered in partnership with a variety of academic and practice-oriented organizations.
