The Venice Agreement Organising Committee has since evolved into a new structure of co-governance and co-responsibility. It acts as a relay between those who initiated the Agreement and a growing community of peatland protectors who are now shaping its next iterations. This committee steers from the sidelines, guided by principles of trust, collaboration and continuity.

As we look toward the 2026 gathering in Kenya, the Organising Committee serves as a bridge between past and future gatherings—carrying questions, stories, and commitments from Venice into new soils. It holds space for intergenerational, intercultural, and interdisciplinary exchanges that keep the Agreement alive.
