As part of the ‘Sustainable Mountain Development for Global Change’ (SMD4GC) program of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the Mountain Research Initiative (MRI) is leading an effort to assess sustainable mountain development (SMD) using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Spatially disaggregating SDGs to subnational or transboundary units of space, such as mountain regions, and applying indicator subsets as means to monitor their status, are two emerging considerations relevant for reporting on SMD.

In this session, we propose to examine these and other advances and challenges related to the monitoring and assessment of SDGs in mountain regions though tools and data available via GEO Flagships and Initiatives.
