15.12.2016

The articles in this issue of Mountain Research and Development derive from papers presented at the 2015 Perth III “Mountains of Our Future Earth” conference and align themselves with research themes of Future Earth.

The final three papers propose agendas for future mountain research, based on very different systematic assessments.
