RCE Srinagar and RCE Kuching, with support from RCE East Kalimantan, RCE East Java (candidate) and RCE Kyrgyzstan, and International Alliance for COVID-19 Community Response (IACCR) co-hosted an International Webinar of RCEs of the Asia-Pacific Region on 11 December, 2020 celebrating ‘International Mountain Day' (IMD) 2020 under the theme ‘Mountain Biodiversity’.

The aim of the webinar was to raise awareness and understanding of the importance of mountains and the people who rely on them for their livelihoods. The webinar also addressed aspects such as institution building, training and capacity-building, which were highlighted in the Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Report to be instrumental for strengthening productive actions.
