National Committee on Ecology and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan

December 11 is International Mountain Day, established by the decision of the 57th UN General Assembly in January 2003 (resolution A/RES/57/245).

But it was established earlier - in 1992 at the UN Conference on Environment and Development, when Agenda 21 was adopted, Chapter 13 of which, entitled "Rational use of fragile ecosystems: sustainable mountain development", became a milestone in the history of mountain development.
