This issue of Mountain Research and Development aims to provide answers to the question of how education can contribute to sustainable mountain development and to mitigation of negative impacts; answers can come from the past, present, and envisioned future of education on, in, and for mountains and mountain people. We understand “education” in a broad sense, including formal education from schools to postgraduate education, all types of training for practitioners, lifelong learning opportunities, and all types of informal and nonformal education. For its 3 peer-reviewed sections, MRD is looking for contributions that address the question in the title from various perspectives related to the goal of sustainable mountain development; this can include reflections on and suggestions in relation to thematic issues, pedagogic concepts and methods, formal and informal practices, institutional setups, and policy frameworks.
