    REQUEST from APMN

    The Regional Conference on Sustainable Development of Fragile Mountain Areas of Asia (SUDEMAA) was organised in Kathmandu from December 13-16, 1994. Following three days of extensive discussions on a wide range of mountain development issues, including country statements about respective mountain areas, the participants adopted the SUDEMAA Call to Action, calling upon countries to place mountain areas higher on their respective sustainable development agendas. The conference brought together over 60 policy-makers and practitioners from New Zealand to Iran. One of the decisions of the meeting was for ICIMOD to facilitate information exchange about Asian mountain areas.

    The Asia Pacific Mountain Network (APMN) is a follow-up to this meeting and represents an informal forum for the exchange of information and sharing of knowledge affecting sustainable development of mountain areas in the Asia Pacific Region amongst agencies and personnel concerned or associated with such mountain areas. The network is coordinated by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Kathmandu, through a special grant from the Swiss Government.
