ICIMOD Annual Report 2011

The Annual Report 2011 gives a brief overview of ICIMOD's activities over the past year including advocating mountain issues in global forums, an international conference on green economy and sustainable mountain development, and important contributions to knowledge of snow and glacier cover and climate change impacts in the region. Along with updates on the continuing growth of ICIMOD’s core programmes on ecosystem services, sustainable livelihoods, and water and hazards, the report also includes a short introduction of the newly initiated Himalayan Climate Change Adaptation Programme, which has a special focus on women; and highlights interactions between ICIMOD and member countries, which have resulted in increased country ownership in ICIMOD's programmes.
