December 11th: International Mountain Day

December 11th is celebrated worldwide as International Mountain Day, an opportunity to reflect on the importance of mountains for our planet and the communities that inhabit them. This day, established in 2002 by the United Nations General Assembly, was created to raise awareness and promote concrete actions to protect these vital ecosystems.

The Origins of International Mountain Day

1992: The journey toward this celebration began with Agenda 21, titled "Managing fragile ecosystems: sustainable mountain development," introduced during the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit.
2002: The United Nations officially designated December 11th as International Mountain Day, recognizing the crucial role of these ecosystems.
Promotion of the Day: The organization and global awareness efforts are led by the FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization), which each year proposes a central theme while allowing local communities to focus on topics relevant to their territories.
Brussels Liaison Office: This office annually coordinates official European celebrations, promoting initiatives centered on key topics such as sustainable development and the preservation of mountain environments.
