🌿✨ Exciting news: JuST Institute and UN Mountain Partnership join forces! ✨🌿      Mountain farmers can play a crucial role in combating climate change and preserving biodiversity. Their unique agricultural practices and knowledge of local ecosystems can contribute to sustainable land management, carbon sequestration, and the conservation of plant and animal genetic diversity.   It is hence key that climate and biodiversity finance is tailored to needs of mountain farmers and ensure their investments toward sustainable and resilient livelihoods.  We are proud to announce that JuST Institute is now a member of the Mountain Partnership of the United Nations, a global alliance committed to sustainable mountain development! This collaboration represents a milestone in our mission to drive #just #transition finance in the mountain sector.   UN Mountain and JuST Institute aim to collaborate to enable financing and non-financial support towards mountain social businesses and farmers organizations to adapt to climate change and preserve local ecosystems.      🔍 About the Mountain Partnership: with a visionary goal for 2030, the Mountain Partnership seeks to empower mountain communities and promote both public and private investment to address climate and biodiversity crises. Their mission is to ensure the well-being and livelihoods of mountain populations and to promote the sustainable development of mountain regions for the benefit of people and the planet.      🤝 Our shared commitment: this partnership brings together JuST Institute’s expertise in climate, biodiversity and inclusive finance with the Mountain Partnership's advocacy, projects and extensive global network. By joining forces, we aim to launch initiatives to promote sustainable mountain development and improve mountain communities’ livelihoods.   Stay connected as we work towards a more inclusive and sustainable future for our world's mountain regions!  Jason Spensley Avril Benchimol Sebastien Soleille, David Vaillant, Camille Maclet, Claudia BELLI, Alexandre Nayme; Janie Rioux, Marc de Sousa-Shields; Philippe Guichandut, Vincent Brousseau; Torsten Becker, Luca Soppelsa; Laura Foschi, Mathilde Bauwin; Davide Forcella, PhD, Mac Dressman #mountainpartnership #UN #Sustainability #JuSTInstitute #MountainsMatter
