Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

International Mountain Day is observed every year on December 11. It was established by the United Nations in 2003 to raise awareness about the vital role mountains play in the environment, including their impact on biodiversity, climate regulation, and livelihoods. The day also emphasizes the importance of sustainable mountain development. The UN adopted this day following the Earth Summit in 1992, and since then, it has aimed to inspire global action to protect mountain ecosystems and improve the lives of people living in these regions.
