In the presentation he delivered during Mountain Day, Olman Serrano, FAO Rome, discussed three adaptation
projects that took place in mountain ecosystems. Underlining their importance, he said: 35% of water in Chile comes from the Maipo Valley; 90% of the population of Central Asia relies on water stored in glaciers and snow; and in Uganda, the population density in mountains is more than double the density of the lowlands.
