[Risgchairs] Fwd: URGENT: FAO contributions to the Global Action Plan for the Five-Year Plan of Action for the Development of Mountain Regions

Thu Jun 8 13:22:33 MST 2023

Dear RISG chairs

I am forwarding this email to you from the Mountains Partnership
Secretariat who asks for contributions from different mountainous regions
for them to finalise their 5-year Global Action Plan. It is a short
template you have to complete if you or members in your region have
contributions to make. As you would know, last year was the International
Year of Sustainable Mountains Development and we as the IYRP are observing
their actions closely  as we can learn a lot from them, particularly on the
actions needed post our international year. They have successfully managed
to get UNGA to pass a resolution that will further support their vision
even after their international year.

Their due date is 12 June 2023.

Kind regards
Igshaan

Dear Igshaan,

I hope this finds you well. We would like to reconnect with you in the wake
of the Five-Year Plan of Action for the Development of Mountain Regions,
where the MPS is leading a UN Task force. Given the crucial role played by
FAO – lead UN agency for sustainable mountain development – we would like
to ask for your valuable contribution to the Global Action Plan. The Task
Force is currently finalizing this document. Please find attached the
Outline for reference. As you will see, one of the paragraphs is named
‘Implementation’. This paragraph will be populated by relevant
international organizations with concrete global and regional initiatives
that will contribute to the implementation of the Five-Year Plan of Action
(2023 – 2027).

We are currently gathering this information from all relevant actors by
using a template – please find it attached together with an example of how
it should be filled. *Therefore, we would kindly ask you to fill the
template with any relevant information. Please note that the initiatives
included can be ongoing, planned or forecasted. The deadline for providing
inputs is 12 June. *Please note that the expected date of completion of the
Plan is mid-June 2023.

This Global Action Plan is part of the broader 2023-2027 “Five Years of
Action for the Development of Mountain Regions” approved with the UNGA
resolution A/RES/77/172 (14 December 2022). The resolution was negotiated
by Italy and Kyrgyzstan and sponsored by 110 UN member states.

1.       The five year period aims to “enhance the awareness of the
international community of the problems of mountain countries and to give
new impetus to the international community’s efforts to address the
challenges and problems of mountain countries” (paragraph 30).

2.       The resolution “[invites] Member States and relevant United
Nations agencies, within their mandates, to further enhance support to
sustainable mountain development, including through participation in the
Five Years of Action for the Development of Mountain Regions” (paragraph
36).

3.       The resolution stresses that the costs of all activities that may
arise from the implementation of the present resolution should be met
from *voluntary
contributions*, and that such activities would be subject to the
availability and provision of voluntary contributions (paragraph 37);

4.       A task force was set up based on the colleagues that were
initially involved in Kyrgyzstan. The mandate of the Task Force is to
develop a global plan of action, to be followed by more specific
regional/national plans developed by governments jointly with UN colleagues
based in the countries.

If you have any questions or doubts, do not hesitate to get back to us or
to send us a meeting request,

Best regards,

Rosalaura
