FS 3.161: Inclusive and sustainable livelihoods in mountains

Highland regions, incorporating plateaus, alpine systems, mesas and similar landscapes, are home to vital ecosystems and provide numerous goods and services. However, these areas often lack evidence-based models and tools for sustainable local development, particularly in rapidly changing climate conditions. We explores strategies to bridge this gap through collective and impact-driven research and innovation. We will review innovative approaches and lessons learned from communities and research teams working towards sustainable livelihoods in highlands and explore overarching and transferable ideas through co-created visions of inclusive and sustainable development in the highlands.
