The future of mountains and how to bridge the gap between the global Agenda 2030 and local examples of implementation in mountain communities was at the heart of a meeting between the Mountain Resilience Coalition (MRC) and the Mountain Partnership Secretariat (MPS). The two groups shared about their missions, visions and projects, and brainstormed about how to strengthen relationships and exchanges among Mountain Partnership (MP) members to advance sustainable mountain development. Read more about the meeting.
