The conference’s theme is ‘Development, environment, and mountains’ with key areas: biodiversity, climate, ecosystem, environmental pollution, forest restoration, livelihoods, mountains and people.
South Asia and the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region are facing severe impacts from climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Socio-economic challenges, including inequality, poverty, unemployment, population growth, rapid urbanisation, and land use changes, are among the most pressing issues. At the conference, leading researchers from the HKH region and beyond will share insights to aid governments, policymakers, and communities to understand and address these pressing challenges.
