Sustainable Transitions
Founder
March 2022 - Today (4 years and 3 months)
London, UK
This is my creative business which allows me to explore climate change policies. I have engaged several international donors to help them understand sustainability issues, including, value chain analysis, ESG, regulatory environment, free trade and investments, impacts on indigenous communities. Honestly, it's a work in progress, I'm learning developing my passion and collaborating, connecting with others to make an impact. Sustainability is a large field, hopefully through this project we can make it smaller and more management, as the old adage goes - how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!
