The increasing attention to the importance of mountains led the UN declare to 2002 the UN International Year of Mountains. The first international day was celebrated for the first time the following year, 2003.

Experts from United Nations (UN) agencies, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Sports Federations (IFs) will discuss the topic of "Achieving the SDGs through sport: partnerships and institutional responses for greater coherence and effectiveness".
