Supporting Collaboration and Open Science

As a global initiative within the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Work Programme and a Flagship Activity of the Mountain Research Initiative, GEO Mountains works to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and usability of data and information pertaining to mountain regions worldwide. By connecting researchers, observation networks, and institutions, GEO Mountains helps generate and share knowledge that supports climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable mountain development.
