MRI Mountain Social-Ecological Futures Working Group
REGISTRATION FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
BACKGROUND
In an era characterized by climate change, economic shifts, and transformative societal dynamics, mountainous regions face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. This Working Group emphasises the need for positive narratives and seeks to connect with other MRI research strands. Its primary goal is to exchange innovative ideas to imagine and shape new responses to the ongoing unprecedented climate-driven social-ecological changes in mountain areas. Additionally, it aims to create an urgently needed community of practice for proactively managing these new resources in a sustainable manner. This Working Group was proposed as an MRI Science Leadership Council-led flagship initiative for the period spanning 2023-2026. It is currently in its preparatory phase.
