The book traces the evolution of mountain environmental awareness, beginning with the 1973 Stockholm Conference on the Environment. It highlights key contributions to UNESCO's MAB Programme, particularly MAB-6, and the International Geographical Union's focus on mountains. The narrative culminates in the 1992 Earth Summit, where AGENDA 21 addressed mountain issues, leading to the establishment of 2002 as The International Year of Mountains and December 17th as International Mountain Day, underscoring the global recognition of mountain environmental challenges.
