Home to large numbers of people, sources of water, centres of tourism, and sensitive ecological zones, mountain environments share distinctive climactic characteristics.
South and Southeast Asian countries are experiencing rapid land cover and land use changes (LCLUC) driven by urbanization, agricultural expansion, deforestation, and infrastructure development.
We live in a world that is increasingly vulnerable to climatic shocks - affecting agriculture and industry, government and international trade, not to mention human health and happiness.
