Hi, I am Olha Krushelnytska, the founder of the group. My short bio:
Environmental finance and natural resource management specialist with international development experience. Private sector experience in consulting with focus on developing new business lines. Level II CFA candidate. Currently working on innovative financial structures and mechanisms for green investments. Full bio at https://www.linkedin.com/in/olha-krushelnytska-4b97281/
Hi excited to be a part of this group and thanks Olha for this brilliant initiative. I completely agree that we need to (a) share (b) broaden our horizons beyond just the usual climate finance projects (c) cross pollinate learning across different sectors/global practices.
I am Leela and am currently supporting the Environment team in Jakarta. As an economist with over seven years of work experience in the climate change and renewable energy space across Indonesia, Cambodia and India, I am quite keen on sharing and broadening my perspectives beyond just climate finance. My current role includes working and assessing options for results based finance for sustainable land use ( particularly peatlands and lowland development) and public finance through fiscal policy for low carbon pathways. Previously I worked with climate finance think tank Climate Policy Initiative and entered into the foray of climate finance as the lead negotiator for climate finance on behalf of the youth constituency for the UNFCCC negotiations and the additional group on finance. This year I have started exploring other sectors and applications of green finance beyond climate, starting with a brief on opportunities for impact investments in sustainable fisheries for US Foundations. I am also currently a scholarship candidate for the Green Finance Specialist degree by RENAC- The Renewable Energy Academy Berlin where I am learning more about Energy efficiency finance, green banking and green infrastructure finance. Very keen on sharing and learning perspectives - especially from projects on the ground and/or in the region.
Hi all, I'm grateful for the initiative of this CoP.
My background is economic development/SDGs with a specialisation on supply chain management and green/cricular business models, which has lead me to investigate novel and green finance modalities... Currently I am involved in a research group on corporate green bonds.
Looking forward to co-create a useful space to strengthen and exchange on knowledge and implementation experience of green finance bringing in all our different perspectives and disciplines.
My name is Jorge Llanos and I will be part of your journey on the subject of your group.
I am an architect with a Master in Urban Design and very interested in aspects related to green resilience, finance, and procurement under a severe system of climate change and a willing effort to sustainability transition.
Currently, we are developing sustainable means for conserving agricultural areas within zoning and land use regulations which are constantly beaten by hazardous climate change. Some areas are not recoverable due to topographical disarrangement and relocation becomes an inherent option so we have to rely upon pre-evaluation of areas before decisions are determined. In the past, these aspects were solved by good engineering that still provides an affordable example of know how to a limit.
I am hoping to be able to share your insights on matters that are related to green financing and how they may relate to common issues of applying green financial applications & development.
