Organized by Peace Brigades International UK
Westminster Central Hall, Westminster, London
Environmental Human rights conference will explore threats to
biodiversity and climate change presented by deforestation, pollution
and mono-crop cultivation and the risks that environmental human rights
defenders face. We will identify the links between these threats and
the violation of human rights, as well as the role played by European
and other international economic interests. Places are very limited so
registration is essential and will be done on a first come basis.
