Importance of Mountains Ecosystem to Global Environment, Food Security and Livelihoods
- Mountains are important towers of water reservoirs that provide 70% of
world fresh water including irrigation water;
- Mountain ecosystems are key source of different types of renewal energy
including hydropower, solar energy, wind power and biomass fuels such as wood.
- Water streams and rivers along with the mountains altitude gradient
provide hydropower:
- Wind flow and circulation and high solar radiation in the mountains
provide renewal sources of solar and wind energy.
