As a highly-motivated manager at the United Nations, my professional goal is to improve sustainable development by supporting Countries and key stakeholders in the implementation of low emission and climate resilient strategies, integrating climate change and green policies into broader economic policymaking, development planning and poverty reduction strategies.

I have a 13 year experience working on climate change with UNDP, both at the national level (i worked at UN local offices in Costa Rica and Honduras) as well at the global level. Right now, i am leading UNDP's global work on climate transparency and on Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV), supporting developing countries among other things in accessing international funds and in implementing high quality reporting to the UN Climate Change Convention. I am thus fully familiar with GEF, CBIT and GCF.

My present working experience has allowed me to work on climate change with more than 100+ developing countries, spread in all regions, as well with several donor Countries. Indeed on the latter, I lead and coordinate a group called the MRV/Transparency Group of Friends, which include 30 international organizations and developed Countries. 

Over my career, i have worked closely on mitigation (including inter alia energy and transport and agriculture and livestock), carbon markets, adaptation and vulnerability, climate negotiations and climate policies. I have also significant experience in deadling not only with technical counterparts but also with political ones, as i have met over the course of my career with more than 30 Ministers from a broad range of Countries.

I have attended several climate negotiation sessions (COP 16 and then all COPs from COP 20 onwards) on behalf of the Government of Honduras, Costa Rica and UNDP. 

I speak fluently Italian, English, Spanish and have a good working knowledge of French and Portuguese.
