1st Global Mountain Sustainability Forum
Sustainability Governance: International Frameworks and Local Contributions
In the epoch of Anthropocene, where humans have a significant impact on the Earth's geology and ecology, the
sustainability of our social-economic systems is the basic prerequisite for the long-term existence of mankind. Sustainability has turned into a matter of individual lifestyle and individual daily choices rooted in common values in parts of the society.
Acknowledging the necessity of fundamental changes, the United Nations and its member states have been developing a framework for national action and global cooperation: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the respective
17 Sustainable Development Goals. With only 10 more years left to achieve these goals, the UN have raised a universal call to mobilize for a decade of global, local and people action, to tackle growing poverty, empower women and girls, and address the climate emergency.
The
1st Global Mountain Sustainability Forum
(GMS-Forum) is part of a new established conference series and will take place on
October 5th and 6th in Sexten | Sesto, in the heart of the South Tyrolean Dolomites in Italy. The Forum will discuss challenges concerning sustainability in mountain regions, which at the same time provide invaluable ecosystem services for lowlands and their populations. The GMS-Forum 2020 will tackle
sustainability governance issues at the crossroads between international frameworks and local contributions focusing on the
topics of tourism and natural resource management.
Special Issue - Call for Papers
We are delighted to announce a Special Issue in collaboration with the
