The Paper will be presented at COP21 UNFCCC in Paris, on 11 December 2015 (International Mountain Day).
“Balkan/Dinaric Arc” is a component of the inter-regional project Climate Change Action in Developing Countries with Fragile Mountainous Ecosystems from a Sub-regional Perspective. Core objective of this project is to promote a (sub)-regional understanding and foster joint dialogue on mountain ecosystems in the context of climate change and adaptation as well as foster further (sub)-regional and inter-regional exchange of experiences and best practices.40% of the world population depends on the mountain resources for water supply, agriculture, hydroelectricity and biodiversity.
EIA will continue to promote the idea of sustainable development in mountain regions through implementation of project activities.
