Tackling climate change and sustainability issues oftentimes come with complex solutions that are geared towards implementation at a global or regional level. A more effective approach may come from putting practical systems in place at the local level, where change may be seen more rapidly. Sessions
include:
- 1:50 – 2:50pm: Sustainable Land Management and Biodiversity Conservation for Community Based Adaptation – Approaches to land management in mountains to ensure the recovery and maintenance of key ecosystem services and the sustainable management and use of biodiversity to reduce the vulnerability of mountain communities to climate change
- 1:50 – 2:50pm: Braiding Indigenous Knowledge and Western Science – How the Canadian Mountain Network and the Mountain Sentinels Collaborative Network are addressing critical sustainability challenges through the weaving of local and Indigenous knowledge with Western science
- 2:55 – 3:55pm: Knowledge Generation and Management and Strategic Partnerships for Sustainable Mountain Development in South America – By sharing examples of successful cross-dialogue between institutions and actors, the session seeks to promote and strengthen synergies and enhance collaborative conversations with new voices and visions, whilst promoting ancestral methodology and environmental management.
- 2:55 – 3:55pm: Keeping our Mountains Waste-Free – Waste — especially plastic waste — is an omnipresent concern in mountains. Virtually all outdoor enthusiasts have encountered pollution. This side event paints the global picture and challenges to waste management in mountains.
