Welcome to the Mountain Research Initiative! 

The Mountain Research Initiative (MRI) is a multidisciplinary scientific organization that addresses global change issues in mountain regions around the world.

The MRI strives to support the design of integrated research strategies and programs that further our understanding of the impacts of Global Change in mountain areas and that lead to tangible results for stakeholders and policy-makers.

 

MRI is a joint project of IHDP and IGBP and is funded by the
Swiss National Science Foundation
