The Mountain Research and Development (MRD) has launched a call for papers focused on how a Green Economy can enhance livelihoods in mountain regions. The papers will contribute to the preparatory process for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD also known as the Earth Summit 2012 or “Rio+20”). The 2012 Earth Summit strives to include ‘Green Economy’ in the broader context of sustainable development. The papers will serve to explore potentials and challenges of a Green Economy for enhancing livelihoods and alleviating poverty in mountains. The deadline to submit abstracts and working titles is 28 August 2011; full papers are due by 31 October 2011. Further details about the call for papers are available online.
