WSD is a unique global platform that not only celebrates soils but also empowers and engages citizens around the world to improve soil health.

Mountains are home to 15% of the world's population and host about half of the world's biodiversity hotspots. They provide freshwater for everyday life to half of humanity, helping to sustain agriculture and supply clean energy and medicines.
Unfortunately, mountains are under threat from climate change, over exploitation and contamination, increasing the risks for people and the planet.
This year's International Mountain Day has the theme "Restoring mountain ecosystems". It is a chance to increase awareness about the relevance of mountain ecosystems and call for nature-based solutions, best practices and investments that build resilience, reduce vulnerability and increase the ability of mountains to adapt to daily threats and extreme climate events.
