This workshop, organized by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) International Hydrological Programme, will discuss climate change impacts, adaptation strategies, risk management and policy directives for climate-resilient development in mountain areas. The seminar for policy makers and experts aims to enhance dialogue and promote further research and outreach activities on climate change impacts in mountain regions. Regional inputs were gathered from Asia, Latin America and Africa for this meeting during workshops in Nepal, Costa Rica and  Kenya held in 2013 by UNESCO’s International Hydrological Programme in cooperation with the Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD ) and the Mountain Partnership Secretariat (MPS).
