520 |a This second edition of "Sustainable Mountain Development" is a history of the development of mountain environmental awareness from its origins during the Stockholm Conference on the Environment in 1973. This provided intellectual input into UNESCOs MAB Programme, especially MAB-6 (Impact of Human Activities on Mountain Environments), The International Geographical Unions commission on mountains, and The United Nations Universitys (UNU) mountain project, the latter initiated in 1978. All this research and intellectual activity saw its maturation during the 1992 Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro. The major document universally agreed upon was AGENDA 21, with Chapter 13 concentrating on mountain environmental problems which led to 2002 being dedicated as The International Year of Mountains, and December 17th as International Mountain Day.
