The UIAA Mountain Protection Commission spearheads the federation’s activities in this sensitive, challenging and ever-changing field. The Commission works on dedicated projects like the UIAA Mountain Protection Award and the Respect the Mountains Series, and leads the UIAA’s commitment to:
• Promoting a sustainable mountain regions development, as well as the awareness and education of mountain practitioners about sustainable environmental practices;
• Supporting concrete actions taken by our federations that aim to preserve the mountain environment in its natural state; and
• Encouraging the adoption and respect by all mountain stakeholders of international declarations, including UIAA own guidelines and charters, in order to preserve mountain ecosystems and cultures.
