We are very pleased to announce this Call for Speakers. The Forest Interest Group (FIG) has been awarded to organise a side event at the XV World Forest Congress. The event's title is: Healthy Forests and Sustainable Livelihoods: Case studies from the Environmental Peacebuilding Association. Date and time are subject to confirmation.  

We have now been asked to nominate speakers. Therefore, we are now looking for candidates who are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity. We ask all interested candidates to send us a short proposal (title, abstract of 500 words) by 16 January 2022 at the latest. Proposals should be clearly related to the theme of the event and ideally also related to Environmental Peacebuilding. We kindly ask that proposals be submitted in English.

We, members of the FIG, will select the submitted proposals and put together a programme. Nominees are then asked to give a 10-minutes presentation and be available for a panel discussion at the WFC.
