Global Peatlands Initiative
This is a funded opportunity as results from the partnerships with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The workshop was attended by IFSA member Oindrila Basu, as a youth representative.
'It was a great opportunity to learn about Peatlands and get in discussion with the stalwarts in the field, as well as voice different opinions from the perspective of youth.'
-Oindrila Basu (IFSA External Councillor 2018-19)
