Help requested to find statistical figures disaggregated for mountain areas

24.05.2011

FAO is in the process of finalizing a booklet on sustainable mountain development and help to find up-to-date statistics is requested. The focus should be on figures showcasing how many conflicts worldwide are actually fought in mountain regions. Additional statistical figures disaggregated for mountain regions would be highly appreciated, in particular if regarding the effects of climate change, disasters and their impacts in mountain areas, economy, tourism development (e.g. the number of visitors, gross profit etc.), electricity generation (e.g. number of hydropower plants etc.), access to public services in a mountain region. Please send them to Claudia Veith ([email protected]) by the end of June. All sources will be acknowledged.
