Abstract

The Mountain Research Initiative (MRI) is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation to promote global change research in mountain regions around the world. Mountains are very sensitive to global change, especially climate change. A great proportion of humanity depends on resources from mountain regions, especially water. MRI established a research agenda for mountains through its Global Change in Mountain Regions (GLOCHAMORE) Project funded by the European Union and focused on Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Biosphere Reserves nominated by UNESCO throughout the world. The perspectives of MRI and SHARE-Asia are complementary and may intersect in the inclusion of Mountain Biosphere Reserves (MBRs) in the SHARE-Asia network.
