I have +15 years of international experience in the Mediterranean Region advocating for approaches like circular economy, blue economy, green economy, sustainable consumption and production (SCP), pollution prevention. I have been actively coordinating policy processes under UN framework, capacity building projects, technical studies, developed specific tools and pilot initiatives with governments, experts, Mediterranean organizations, Universities, business organizations and CSOs.
Most recently, I have been coordinating the policy department of MedWaves, a Regional Activity Center based in Barcelona and supporting the implementation of 2 United Nations treaties: the Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean and the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).
I am passionate and always eager to think of and discover innovative approaches, in particular to reduce plastic pollution, toxic chemicals, impact on the marine environment but also about enhancing linkages between human health and health of the planet.
