Environmental Governance

My experience is in political journalism, media relations, policy communication, public diplomacy, strategic planning, and knowledge management with a focus on online communication and the coordination of complex international outreach programmes in emerging and developing countries on the main cooperation issues, and 25 years experience in journalism/writing. Since I believe our greatest common challenge is restoring the environmental balance, I am engaged in the EU funded Global Climate Change Alliance Plus, one of the largest initiatives to build climate resilience in the most vulnerable countries, and in the Forest for Future Facility that contributes to healthy forest ecosystems and Forest Partnerships in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America.
