Mountains are vital for human existence and livelihoods as they provide essential resources like freshwater, energy, and food. Conserving these mountains is crucial for achieving sustainable development goals. On December 11, we observe International Mountain Day, which serves as an opportunity to increase awareness and advocate for nature-based solutions, best practices, and investments that can improve the resilience and adaptability of mountain ecosystems. The theme for International Mountain Day 2023 is "Restoring Mountain Ecosystems."
