Our mission is to further world peace and cultural understanding by creating opportunities for people to promote sustainable development in the world’s mountain communities.

Formally organized in 2001 in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, AIMF evolved from a decade of working collaboratively with the United Nations' Environment Program (UNEP), the City of Aspen, the Aspen Institute, Aspen Sister Cities, and other public and private organizations that produced a series of international conferences focusing on issues facing mountain communities.
