The Poverty and Environment SeminarsThe Poverty and Environment Seminars are a series of occasional seminars aimed at exchanging experience and new knowledge on poverty-environment related issues. The seminars have a particular emphasis on cross-fertilization between practice, research and other forms of knowledge. The seminars are hosted by DIIS but organized by a group of practitioners and researchers working with environment and development. The seminars are funded by the Danish Development Research Network.
