of developing country participation in WTO sustainable
development-related negotiations. She is also a consultant for the
International Institute for Sustainable Development, where her focus
on biodiversity (CITES and CBD) and climate change politics regularly
takes her to the major UN negotiations on this processes, including

international environmental secretariats and also worked at UNEP's
