With over 20 years’ expertise in biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and conservation finance across the Philippines, Latin America, Uganda, and Southeast Asia, I currently serve as Senior Advisor to the COP28 Presidency of the UAE. My focus lies in aligning UNFCCC agreements on agrifood systems with Presidency partnerships. Previously, I spent a decade as Senior Advisor to ASEAN, facilitating regional policies for a low-emission, resilient agrifood sector. I spearheaded initiatives like the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network and the ASEAN Negotiating Group for Agriculture. Armed with a Master’s Degree in Environmental Science from Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Science, I’m committed to driving impactful change.
