The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2022 as the International Year of Sustainable Mountain Development (IYM2022). The IYM2022 is a unique opportunity to raise awareness on the role of mountains and mountain people for our planet and sustainable development as well as for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in mountain communities. This International Year also marks the twentieth anniversary since the proclamation by the United Nations General Assembly of the International Year of the Mountain in 2002. Learn more about the Year of Sustainable Mountain Development here.
The theme of this year’s International Mountain Day is “Women Move Mountains.” 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.
