This accreditation enables the organisation several advantages for NGOs, including participation in meetings of global groups, interaction with representatives of governments and a platform to influence policy formulation, a press release from Isha Foundation said here on Sunday.
Isha previously partnered with the UNEP for the World Environment Day hosted by India in 2018, it said. The Foundation was accredited by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) to its Convention of Parties (COP) at New Delhi in September last year.
The Foundation has held Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 2007, the release further said.
