At COP28 in Dubai, the “mountain issue” was officially recognised for the first time. However, it’s not just the climate crisis that threatens the delicate balance of mountain areas: mass tourism, extractivism, and depopulation are all altering the nature of high-altitude regions across the globe. Developed in collaboration with the University of Gastronomic Sciences, issue 51 of Renewable Matter maps out this transformation, highlighting both challenges and resilience strategies.
