Hello everyone,
My name is Pablo López, and I currently work as a Communications Officer at IUCN’s Regional Office for Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. I primarily support the Linking the Central American Landscape program, which is implemented across the region with funding from German cooperation through KfW.
In a previous role, I was UBHub’s Project Manager for the development of the Urban Nature Index (UNI). Now, as an IUCN staff member with different responsibilities and no longer directly involved in the urban agenda, I am eager to experience first-hand how UNI has evolved, how it is being applied in different countries and regions, and to explore potential synergies between my current position and UNI.
I am a biologist with a master’s degree in Environmental Management, and I have worked with UNEP, UNCBD, the Ramsar Convention Secretariat, as well as several local and national governments. Originally from Mexico City, I have also lived in Brisbane, Australia; Helsinki, Finland; Geneva, Switzerland; and I am currently based in San José, Costa Rica. I have been a member of the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas since 2015.
