Andes Regional Dialogue 1: Governance and participation

Recording

Summary

The Regional Dialogues are virtual meetings to bring science closer to policy and practice, and to outline innovative ideas on the sustainable development of the Andean mountains.

Dialogue approach:

Governance and participation in mountain socio-ecosystems in the Andes is a challenging matter at all scales. The presence of different visions and the number of key stakeholders involved makes participation and decision-making processes very complex. However, the importance of high altitude areas to guarantee ecosystem services and livelihoods makes managers, implementers and inhabitants reach minimal agreements on their sustainable development.

Key contributions of this dialogue:

• Share different models of governance that could be replicable and scalable.
• Share innovations in the inclusion of traditionally marginalized sectors of society.
• Share experiences from other mountain ranges.

Note that this event will be available in both Spanish and English (simultaneous translation).
