RDF participated in the Mountain Partnership forum held in the most interesting and touristy city of Aspen, Colorado, USA. This meeting of Mountain Partnership members was an important opportunity to develop and share action plans to protect mountains and the global environment.
The meeting was conducted under the overarching theme “Mountains matter: Ideas to action – Building alliances for resilient mountains”. With the overall objective of promoting sustainable mountain development, the meeting discussed the agenda for the Mountain Partnership going forward, advocating for bringing mountain-related issues to the fore of relevant international processes, as well as for action on the ground.
The meeting was organized around plenary sessions that included panel discussions and special presentations, while numerous side events ran in the afternoon. The meeting was co-hosted by the Mountain Partnership together with the State of Colorado, the City of Aspen, and the Aspen International Mountain Foundation (AIMF).
