Dear sir
i am doing Ph.D IN peace and conflict studies and my topic is in ‘environmental governance and peace-building in India: A study of Kashmir Valley’. I think this conference will be highly beneficial for me and i will get extensive information and experiences in this conference. i belong to disputed region of kashmir nestled in sensitive himalayas and split between india and pakistan. I can share my experiences about how conflict has affected the environmental sustainability and costing livelihood of the people there. My paper will focus on scope of peacebuilding in kashmir through environmental governance. I request your goodself if there are any possibilities of funding for travel and lodging expenses, for we the rates are too high.
Thank you in advance
