The Sustainable Summits Conference is the 3rd global conference about protecting New Zeland mountains, and focuses on three core conference themes:
Environmental Impact
Human waste, water contamination, noise from helicopters and other machines, tracks and erosion, huts, bridges and tracks – visual impacts.
Natural Hazards
Large rockfall, ice recession and unstable geology, avalanches, adverse weather conditions, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
Social Values
Pressures on popular mountain routes, commercialism in the mountains, influences of social media, cultural awareness and visitor implications, Tōpuni areas (sacred), water protection
The conference will focus on practical solutions in terms of adapting to a changing mountain environment, responding to changing visitor patterns and behaviour and preserving mountains for the enjoyment of future generations in relation to core conference themes.
