Poverty and Environment Specialist, 15+ years China / Sub-Saharan Africa experience

Profile Summary

Specialties: China international investments and sustainable development, ecosystem services and poverty, climate change adaptation, international policy, UN Conventions on Biodiversity and Land Degradation, Research analysis and strategy development, natural resource management and livelihoods, environmental mainstreaming.

I have over 15 years’ experience designing, delivering and evaluating both research and practical projects in Africa and Asia across the water/sanitation, climate adaptation, forestry and conservation sectors with multiple partners and at multiple scales. I have spent the majority of my 15 year career undertaking both desk and field based research of complex issues in order to provide clear, succinct and valuable reports offering recommendations for corporate, NGO and government strategies. Most recently I have been focused on untangling international illegal supply chains in wildlife and timber leading into and out of China.

I am familiar with the Chinese cultural and socio-economic and political contexts and am a Chinese speaker having been in China for over 7 years due to the strategic importance of this country for international environmental and poverty alleviation goals.
