The UN / FAO Mountain Partnership envisions by 2030 a world with empowered mountain communities and increased public and private sector commitment and investment in sustainable mountain development to address the climate and biodiversity crises in mountains and ensure social and economic livelihood and well-being of mountain people leaving no one behind as well as the conservation and sustainable use of mountain ecosystems and resources, for the benefit of people and planet.
The “The Mountain Partnership” brings countries, groups and organizations together to work towards a common goal: to improve the lives of mountain peoples and protect mountain environments around the world.
It does this by tapping the wealth and diversity of resources, knowledge (including traditional knowledge), information and expertise of its members to stimulate concrete action on the ground that will bring positive change in mountain areas.
MP work is organized under four main pillars: 1. Advocacy, 2. Joint Action 3. Capacity Development and 4. Communications
The Zero Water Day Partnership is a member of the UN / FAO Mountain Partnership under the category major organisation, see ZWDP member webpage.
ZWDP has hosted several events where the UN / FAO Mountain Partnership secretariat has presented, including the COP 26 Climate Conference in Glasgow in 2021, see Day 3 which focused on empowering children from schools across the globe to become the main actors of change in addressing the challenge of climate change.
Children, alongside UN agencies, presented and discussed their actions to improve, support and empower children’s education regarding their role in water and mountain conservation in the face of rapidly changing mountain environments and ecosystems.
Sessions also highlighted the opportunities to rethink mountain tourism and its impact on natural resources and livelihoods, to manage it better, and to harness it towards a more resilient, green and inclusive future. It drew from local government experiences in Germany which demonstrated coordination of action on climate change that engaged and empowered schools, communities, key actors and groups.
