'Dryland mountains are among the least-known environments in the
world, and certainly one of the most overlooked by decision- and
policy-makers.
Dryland mountains have an outstanding strategic value. They act as
water towers for surrounding dry lowland areas, as shown by the
examples of the Rocky Mountains of North America, the Central
Andes, the mountains of the Mediterranean Basin, the Sahara and
Sub-Saharan Africa, West Asia, and Central Asia.
Drylands are home to more than 2 billion people – about 35%
of the human population on Earth – and have some of the
highest levels of poverty (47%). Although dryland mountains are
often sparsely populated – with 296 million inhabitants
globally – millions of people living in lowland areas depend
on the water and other environmental services generated within
these mountains. Global changes in these mountains will not only
affect mountain dwellers, but also the livelihoods and welfare of a
considerable portion of humanity.

'The world’s mountains are home to about 800 million people.
They serve as water towers for billions and provide ecosystem
services for the entire globe. Climate change will affect the
world’s mountain regions and may jeopardize the important
services provided by mountains. This could include impacts on
drinking water supplies, hydropower generation, agricultural
suitability and risks of natural hazards. Climate change may
produce intensified extreme weather events such as heat waves,
drought, and heavy precipitation leading to flooding and landslides
in mountains and to extensive flooding in surrounding lowlands.
Mountain regions display large climate gradients within small
spatial scales, and host a diversity of microclimates and
macroclimates. This is due to their altitudinal extent, topography,
and their effects on atmospheric flow. For instance, differences in
solar insolation between mountains and forelands produce
characteristic wind systems. The overflow over topography can
trigger convection and precipitation.'
