Synopsis (short abstract)As the UN agency mandated to coordinate the celebrations of International Mountain Day, FAO every year produces fact sheets and posters in the 6 UN languages. This material is produced by the Mountain Partnership Secretariat housed in the Forestry Department. The Activity contributes to Outcome 203 - Stakeholders endorse/adopt international (including regional) instruments and support related governance mechanisms for sustainable agricultural production systems.
