| Note: Following pre-registration, participation in the event will be subject to an approval and registration process. Please note that we will try to accommodate individuals and organizations that support environmental defenders, but priority will be given to creating a space of dialogue for the direct participation of environmental defenders in Asia and the Pacific. |
The 2nd Asia-Pacific Environmental Human Rights Defenders (EHRDs) Forum will be held on 25-27 October 2022 with an aim to support the vital role of environmental human rights defenders as champions of a just and sustainable future.
