Workshop on Transdisciplinary Approaches to Mountain Sustainability
We will explore whether different mountain contexts are associated with specific best practices and will analyze the reasons for similarity, including objective ones (biophysical and social context) as well has historical/cultural ones (i.e. legacies in political systems, in systems of knowledge production). We will also address the hypothesis that while the former are likely to bring similarities, the latter may [...]
