No results found.Mountains are key ecosystems, providing goods and services, such as water, food and energy, to the entire planet. In particular, mountains provide and regulate up to 80 percent of global freshwater resources. However, mountain people are among the worlds’ poorest: one in every three lives in extreme poverty. Climate change has a strong impact on mountain areas, increasing the occurrence of disasters and exacerbating desertification, land degradation and soil erosion. Consequently, living in mountain areas is increasingly difficult and the vulnerability of mountain peoples to food insecurity is worsening, often forcing people to migrate. The sustainable mountain development programme is dedicated to improving the lives of mountain peoples and protecting mountain environments around the world. FAO’s Sustainable Mountain Development programme supports concrete action on the ground to improve the livelihoods and the sustainable management of natural resources in mountains. -
