Mountains 2016
Mountains 2016 is an international event aiming to promote sustainable development in mountains, based on science, knowledge, and innovation.
Veranstaltungsort
Mountains 2016 will combine two different events: the X European Mountain Convention (3-5 october 2016) and the I International Conference on Research for Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions (5-7 october 2016).
The X European Mountain Convention continues a 20-year tradition of addressing cutting-edge political, economic and social topics in European mountains by Euromontana, the European Association for the Development of Mountain Areas. It will cover a broad range of subjects, from agriculture to energy and from innovation to governance, this year centered around the topic of “Adaptation to climate change”.
By bringing together the European mountain community and a broader international community of scientists and stakeholders, Mountains 2016 will create a unique opportunity for individuals and institutions to share experiences and to establish information and collaboration networks. By jointly addressing climate change adaptation and ecosystem services in mountain regions, it will provide an exceptional occasion to present important contributions to science and sustainable development in the mountains of Europe and the rest of the world.
The I International Conference on Research for Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions is a scientific meeting aiming to share and discuss methods, tools, results, applications, trends and challenges in research in mountain systems. It will be organized for the first time in Bragança, under the theme “Ecosystem services and sustainable development”.
One goal of the conference is to involve the global Portuguese-speaking community to the greatest extent possible.
