Abstract

The Mountain Partnership is the United Nations alliance dedicated to mountain peoples and environments. The Secretariat of the Mountain Partnership is hosted by FAO. The 2023 Annual Report of the Mountain Partnership Secretariat (MPS) outlines the MPS' key achievements throughout the year, including supporting the observance of the Five Years of Action for the Development of Mountain Regions 2023-2027, promoting mountains at the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference, and celebrating mountain ecosystem restoration for International Mountain Day. Each chapter is dedicated to one of the MPS’ pillars of work, which include advocacy, communication, knowledge management, brokering joint action, and leading capacity development initiatives. Furthermore, the 2023 Annual Report showcases a selection of Mountain Partnership members' activities around the world to celebrate the many local, national, regional and international collaborations, institutional strengthening, thematic conferences and scientific reports that have taken place within the framework of the Mountain Agenda.
