International Year of Sustainable Mountain Development 2022 (IYM2022)

On Thursday, December 16, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 2022 the International Year of Sustainable Mountain Development. 

This proclamation carries important implications for the UN’s Mountain Partnership, an alliance of mountain countries, governments and NGOs and which has been asked to manage activities associated with this 2022 theme.

It was also decided that there would be an additional five years of “action for development of mountain regions” from 2023-2027. This designation will provide a major impetus to the success of the Mountain Partnership’s Global Meeting to be held in Aspen, Colorado on September 26-28, 2022.

The meeting is being hosted by AIMF, the State of Colorado, the City of Aspen, and the Aspen Institute. AIMF is co-chair of the Steering Committee of the Mountain Partnership and will have a major role in developing the action items for the year.
