Veronica Lo
I am an ecologist interested in crossing disciplinary boundaries to affect policy for climate change adaptation and conservation planning. I have a background in experimental field ecology, particularly working with salt marsh vegetation in coastal ecosystems. I also have experience with NGOs and UN agencies in protected areas planning, ecosystem-based approaches to adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and enhancing synergies in implementing the Rio Conventions on biodiversity, climate change and desertification.
