Bhutan+10: Gender and Sustainable Mountain Development in a Changing World

From: 15.10.2012 to: 19.10.2012

Bhutan+10 is organized by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), Bhutan’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forests, and the National Commission for Women and Children. The conference will be held in Thimphu, Bhutan, from 15 to 19 October, at the Taj Tashi Hotel and will focus on a comprehensive stock-taking on research and knowledge, as well as opportunities for gender and sustainable mountain development. Bhutan+10 will bring together mountain women and men, researchers, policy makers, and development practitioners from the Hindu Kush Himalayan region and around the world for a comprehensive update, and a new agenda setting. ICIMOD has also launched a “Competitive Call for Papers”. The abstracts should be centred on rigorous analyses integrating gender, sustainable development and natural resource management issues in mountain contexts.

The deadline for abstracts is Friday, 4 May 2012.
