International Mountain Day
Date: 11 December
The UN General Assembly declared 11 December as International Mountain Day as a result of the successful observance of the UN International Year of Mountains in 2002, which increased global awareness of the importance of mountains, stimulated the establishment of national committees in 78 countries, and strengthened alliances through promoting the creation of the Mountain Partnership. FAO, the designated lead coordinating agency for the International Year of Mountains, is the Organization mandated to lead observance of International Mountain Day.
