Mountain Living Together is an event for sharing stories about sustainable futures of local and global well-being, presented by the MRI Mountain Resilience Working Group

Mountain communities around the world are dealing with complex challenges like climate change, urban-rural migration, and more. What can we learn from each other and other alpine communities facing similar opportunities for innovation?

Programme

Saturday 8 January 2022 | Location: Page Center, Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory and Online

Mountain Living Together will be a lively workshop to co-create, brainstorm, and learn about resilient, regenerative, and sustainable ideas for future mountain living. Share your stories of life in the Eastern Sierras and Payahuunadü and learn about comparative examples of European sustainable mountain pathways - through interactive mapping, fish-bowl dialogues and more. Follow along on Zoom if you can’t be physically present!

This will be followed by a social evening and “fire-side chat.” 

Sunday 9 January & Monday 10 January 2022 | Location: Mammoth Lakes, Bishop, California, USA

Let’s get outside! Walk n’ talks or hikes (weather dependent) with casual drop-in conversations over coffee at local spots like Stellar Brew, Black Velvet in Mammoth; Black Sheep, Looney Bean in Bishop and more.

Who are we?

We are hybrid researchers, practitioners and nature lovers, committed to helping make the world better than we found it. This event is part of Haley Fitzpatrick’s PhD research at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (Norway), supervised by Prof. Dr. Tobias Luthe, Associate Professor at AHO and ETH Zurich. This PhD project is centered around a comparative analysis of real-world innovation in mountain communities and connected with long-term mountain resilience research with the Mountain Research Initiative’s Resilience Working Group, the MonViso Institute (Italy), Systemic Design Labs (ETH) and Polytechnic University of Turin.

Why join us?

Join us to explore how we can live better together, as diverse local neighbors and global partners. Expand your climate action toolkit with holistic thinking, systemic design and sustainability science. Let’s come together to embrace complexity, take action in uncertainty and focus on our shared values, while celebrating our differences.
