2018 International Mountain Day (IMD)

The International Mountain Day (IMD) is observed every year on December 11 to celebrate and bring awareness to the world’s mountain environments and the people and cultures that inhabit them. It is an opportunity to create awareness about the importance of mountains to life, to highlight the opportunities and constraints in mountain development and to build alliances that will bring positive change to mountain peoples and environments around the world. The purpose of the 2018 theme “#MountainsMatter” is to create a large social movement that can bring mountain issues on the tables of politicians.
