Today is #WorldWaterDay. 💧 Global water consumption has increased almost fourfold in the past 100 years. In 30 years, almost a quarter of the world’s lowland population will strongly depend on runoff from the mountains.

🏔 Mountains provide vital resources of fresh water. The Caucasus region is closely linked to the challenges of dealing with glaciers, rivers and streams. Protecting them and efficient water management is the key to sustaining life on earth.

[SNC-mt @SNC_mt]

🏔 The Caucasus is a hotspot of global biodiversity. However, even in the era of big data, this region remains underrepresented in public vegetation-plot databases.

🌳🌲🌱🌾Happy International Day of Forests! #internationalforestday
🏔️Mountain forests beautifully shape the landscapes of the Caucasus. They are the guardians of biodiversity, harbouring countless endemic species and are the silent protectors against natural disasters. 🌳🏔️

[Mountain Partnership @UNmountains]

Today is #IntlForestDay 🌲

Did you know? #Forests cover 39% of the global mountain area!

From regulating climate to protecting against natural hazards, mountain forests are vital for our planet’s wellbeing. 🌍⛰️ #MountainsMatter #GenerationRestoration

Today is #InternationalDayOfForests! 🌳🌲 Forests clean the air and capture carbon to fight climate change. But forest clearance in #OurChangingMountains of Southeast Asia is accelerating and leading to unprecedented increases in carbon emissions:

[Mountain Partnership @UNmountains]

Mountains, the world's water towers, supply 60-80% of freshwater resources. Yet, their vital role is threatened by climate change.

This #WorldWaterDay, let's build mountains' resilience for a water-secure future 💧🏔️

♻️🌍Happy #WorldRecyclingDay!🌏♻️
#Recycling is a critical component of reducing waste and is particularly important for the mountain areas because their remoteness, socio-economic conditions & natural hazards, make waste management in mountains more challenging than in lowlands.
