The Mountain Research Initiative (MRI) is a multidisciplinary
scientific organization that addresses global change issues in
mountain regions around the world.
The MRI strives to support the design of integrated research
strategies and programs that further our understanding of the impacts
of Global Change in mountain areas and that lead to tangible results
for stakeholders and policy-makers.
MRI is a joint project of <http://www.ihdp.unu.edu/>IHDP and
<http://www.igbp.net/>IGBP and is funded by the
