All coverage
The fourth World Mountain Forum (WMF 2018) brought together approximately 300 participants to discuss the overall objective of advancing the sustainable mountain development (SMD) agenda. Over the first three days (23-25 October), participants took part in plenary sessions, parallel thematic tracks, poster presentations and featured focus events.
Plenary sessions included discussions on mountains in a changing world, and a commemorative event on World Snow Leopard Day. The thematic discussions addressed three overarching topics: current trends and dynamics; pathways towards a sustainable mountain future; and partnerships and alliances to advance SMD. Participants also reviewed and consolidated messages for inclusion in the conference outcome document titled ‘A Call for Mountains,’ and convened in sessions exploring innovative partnerships and best practices in mobilization and financing for SMD. On the final day (26 October), delegates took part in field excursions.
