In the MountainAgenda section, authors from the Andean Social–Ecological Observatory Network detail the network’s origins, structure, objectives, and strategies. In the MountainPlatform section, the Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences presents its new research concept.
