Geneva Environment Networking Bars

Two hybrid networking sessions – Geneva Environment Networking Bars – open to Geneva communities are proposed in the margins of INTECOL 2022. Facilitated by the Geneva Environment Network (GEN) and the University of Geneva, these sessions aim to discuss topics that are at the heart of the global environmental agenda.
