XIII European Mountain Convention – Mountain economies

Puigcerdà - Catalonia
XIII European Mountain Convention

Euromontana, the Government of Catalonia and CREAF co-organised the XIII edition of the European Mountain Convention in Puigcerdà, Catalonia, from 15 to 18 October 2024.

The biannual gathering of European mountain stakeholders focused on Shaping the future of mountain economies. The event was build on the 2050 vision for mountain areas articulated during the previous European Mountain Convention held in Calabria in 2022, and focused on how to make mountain economies more sustainable, resilient and prosperous.

Mountain economies are based on economic sectors that are the beating heart of mountain areas, provide employment to mountain communities and essential ecosystem services to the society at large, and are often embedded in territorial identities and values. However, these value chains face a number of economic, social and environmental challenges, exacerbated by the geographical constraints of mountain areas. The XIII European Mountain Convention was an opportunity to explore and identify solutions and pathways to overcome some of these challenges.

Field visits, high-level plenary sessions and interactive discussions on how to overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities of mountain areas are a staple of the European Mountain Conventions.
