“STI x Livelihood x Women for the Sustainable Use of Peatland and Mangrove: Female Empowerment in Research and Practice”
Many female researchers have been active on the peatland and mangrove researches; some have been working on the main issues of peatlands and mangrove while others pay more attentions to peatland and mangrove as the livelihood for local communities, where gender mainstreaming is a key strategy for building resilient livelihood.
The session, organized as a side event of ASEAN COSTI-80 on 14 Oct 2021, brought together female researchers and stakeholders in peatland and mangrove in ASEAN, including NICT and JASTIP partners, to inform the state of the art on peatland and mangrove researches in the region. Active discussion among female researchers was a excellent showcase that the region has still potentials in empowering women in research for environmental and sustainable issues.
