Mountains Connect Brief. Experience exchange between the Andes, Alps and Carpathians. Exploring mountain governance paths for climate resilient development

The Study Trip of Andean Mountain Initiative (AMI) delegates to Europe, was developed with the idea to promote exchange with their counterparts in the Alpine Convention and the Carpathian Convention, with the fundamental objective of strengthening cooperation between the world’s regional mountain platforms. The trip took place during the first half of June of 2023, covered visits to three countries (Austria, Poland, Slovenia), and was centered on sharing approaches and mechanisms for regional governance in mountain ranges for the benefit of people and ecosystems. This Mountain Governance Brief aims to summarize the trip, lessons learned, and recommendations for action for policy representatives involved in mountain range governance.
