Evaluating the responses of mountains to climate change and mountains’ resilience as social-ecological systems requires the consideration of multiple and mutually interacting stressors. The International Mountain Conference 2019 aims to encourage in-depth cross-disciplinary discussions towards a new understanding of mountain systems, their responses and resiliencies.

The International Mountain Conference 2019 will be held on 8-12 September in Innsbruck, Austria. It aims to build upon the three previous mountain conferences that took place in Perth, Scotland, continuing this scientific conference series with a focus on mountain-specific topics. Hosted in the Alps, the conference will provide an opportunity for experts from different disciplines to come together and discuss mountain-related issues.
