The mountain's gift is the profound solitude it offers, allowing you to find peace in the quiet company of the clouds, the amazing views and the gentle breeze. This precious space for reflection restores the spirit and mends the tension left by the demanding world below. May the ascent lead you to your inner calm. Happy International Mountain Day!
🌄 Celebrating International Mountain Day 2024 🌄
On 11 December, we honor the beauty and importance of mountains, which provide fresh water, clean energy, food, and opportunities for recreation. 🏔️ This year's theme, "Mountain Solutions for a Sustainable Future - Innovation, Adaptation, and Youth", shines a spotlight on innovative strategies to address challenges in mountainous regions while empowering youth to lead the way.
🌟 Why Mountains Matter
Fresh Water: Mountains supply 60-80% of the world’s freshwater. 💧

International Mountain Day: Celebrating Nature's Wonders
Observed every December 11th, International Mountain Day recognizes the vital role mountains play in our ecosystems, cultures, and economies. Covering nearly 27% of the Earth’s surface, mountains are home to 15% of the global population and host a rich diversity of flora and fauna. They provide essential resources like freshwater, renewable energy, and food. The theme for 2024 underscores the…
The theme of this year's International Mountain Day (IMD) on 11 December is Women move mountains. Women play a key role in mountains' environmental protection and social and economic development. They are often the primary managers of mountain resources, guardians of biodiversity, keepers of traditional knowledge, custodians of local culture, and experts in traditional medicine. Increasing climate variability, coupled with a lack of investment in mountain agriculture and rural development, has often pushed men to migrate elsewhere in search of alternative livelihoods. Women have therefore taken on many tasks formerly done by men, yet mountain women are often invisible due to a lack of decision-making power and unequal access to resources. As farmers, market sellers, businesswomen, artisans, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, mountain women and girls, in particular in rural areas, have the potential to be major agents of change. When rural women have access to resources, services, and opportunities, they become a driving force against hunger, malnutrition, and rural poverty and are active in the development of mountain economies. International Mountain Day 2022 is an opportunity to promote gender equality and therefore contribute to improving social justice, livelihoods and resilience. Get to know more about women in mountains and use FAO's, communication materials in all six UN languages, which are available on their website. While Women move mountains is the suggested theme for 2022, countries, communities, and organizations are welcome to celebrate IMD through a theme that is more relevant to them. Celebrate this International Day 2022 with your community and friends preparing an event or joining the conversation on social media using the hashtag #MountainsMatter. Pass on some of the key messages, or share about the important role of women in mountains, or post, or a photo of your favorite mountain. Mountains are home to 15% of the world´s population and host about half of the world's biodiversity hotspots. They provide freshwater for everyday life to half of humanity. Their conservation is a key factor for sustainable development and is part of Goa https://www.instagram.com/p/CmEZ5MAPHJx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Did you know that women play a key role in environmental protection and social and economic development in mountain areas?
Women are often the primary managers of mountain resources, guardians of biodiversity, keepers of traditional knowledge, custodians of local culture and experts in traditional medicine.

When rural women have access to resources, services and opportunities, they become a driving force against hunger, malnutrition and rural poverty and are active in the development of mountain economies.
International Mountain Day 2022 is an opportunity to raise awareness about the need to empower mountain women so they can participate more effectively in decision-making processes and have more control over productive resources. By sharing excellence, opportunities and capacity development in mountains, the Day can promote gender equality and therefore contribute to improve social justice, livelihoods and resilience.
