Caucasus Mountain Forum

The third Caucasus Mountain Forum (CMF) under the theme "Transdisciplinarity for sustainable tourism development: Role of Caucasus scientists" will be devoted to tourism development perspectives and challenges in the region.

The CMF is a flagship initiative of the Scientific Network for Caucasus Mountain Regions. The regional context of the Caucasus provides a major motivation for organizing biannual regional forums for different stakeholders working in the Caucasus mountain region.

This third CMF will offer a combination of plenary sessions open to the public, research sessions, workshops, and poster sessions. Plenary sessions will cover the following topics:

• inter- and transdisciplinary approaches in landscape protection and mountain tourism development - the role of scientists in research, planning and development;
• tourism as the main livelihood for sustainable mountain development - the compatibility of innovation and tradition; and
• environmental protection and climate change responses - a key challenge for developing responsible tourism.

The third CMF will be held in Kutaisi, Georgia at the Akaki Tsereteli State University.
