"Mountains under pressure: climate, hunger, migration"

Almost one billion people live in mountain areas and over half the human population depends on mountains for water, food and clean energy. Yet mountains are under threat from climate change, land degradation and natural disasters, with potentially far-reaching and devastating consequences both for mountain communities and for the rest of the world. To bring attention to the plight of mountains for International Mountain Day (11 December), we are asking you to make a one-minute video on the theme of ‘Mountains under pressure: climate, hunger, migration’ for the video contest.

Show how climate change is affecting food security in mountains. Participate in the Mountains Matter video contest: http://bit.ly/2x4u3j1
