My passion is to work with change-makers, social entrepreneurs, and impact actors to address the most pressing global challenges we face today. Specifically, my focus is on nature-based solutions, ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation, regenerative agriculture, sustainable supply chains, sustainability reporting, sustainable finance, climate mitigation, climate adaptation and resilience, and just transition. I am committed to creating a world where people live in harmony with each other and the environment, where diversity is valued, and everyone has the opportunity and resources they need to fulfil their potential. My vision is to revitalize the global partnership for the Sustainable Development Goals and create systems change to achieve peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.
