The mountains are not static. They change — it is in their nature. They do so through rocks, on a geological timescale. They do so through human activity, much more rapidly, following processes we can understand, interpret, and manage. What will the mountains of the near future look like? Who will live in them, who will experience them? What trends will shape their management, and how will the ecological transition affect both the landscape and employment? What new professions will emerge, particularly the ‘green’ ones?
The mountains of tomorrow will depend on the choices we make today. If we wish to live in and experience them according to new models of development and production, we must take action, embrace change, and innovate. This volume brings together the reflections that emerged during the international conference of Rete Montagna, Next Generation Mountains, held in collaboration with Officina Montagna of Cantiere Friuli, University of Udine.
