Presentation at United Nations

I have been invited by The Mountain Institute and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to participate in a panel presentation promoting mountain economies through high value, high quality mountain products during the upcoming UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) meetings in NYC (May 4-15). The audience is official country representatives to the UN Commission on Sustainable Development, in particular mountainous country delegations, and other NGO representatives and stakeholders. I will deliver a visual presentation on my work with Nixi Tibetan Potters in Western China, sponsored by The Mountain Institute, Aid to Artisans and USAID.
