Our Mountain Sustainability Education Programme was developed through a collaboration between Sea to Sky Gondola, GEO Mountains, the Mountain Research Initiative, the University of Calgary, and the Arctic Institute of North America. It provides a set of teaching resources designed for learners of all ages. In support of the International Year of Sustainable Mountain Development 2022, the program was built around the question ‘What do mountains mean to you?’
Students take a global view of mountains and associated initiatives in mountain resilience, examining how mountains are created, what changes them, and the shared responsibilities of mountain stewardship. The materials are divided by module, theme, and topic, and include content on mountain weather and climate, biodiversity, and people.
