Summary:[...]many mountain ecosystems are moving along trajectories that couple high rates of environmental change with strong economic changes. Process A key to the success of the conference was that key experts working on a wide range of themes, within both the natural and social sciences, agreed to organize sessions that related to their interests. [...]prospective participants could submit their abstracts for consideration within 28 global themes, of concern to scientists from a wide range of social and natural science disciplines; and 4 regional themes, one relating to a specific initiative (the Western Mountain Initiative: see westernmountains.org), the others relating to global change in the European Alps, the American Cordillera, and the Asian mountains.
