Key Contributions to UNEP Projects
Ecolabels and Sustainable Public Procurement
Ecolabels, SPP and Biodiversity
Developing Good Practices
As the lead author, I conducted in-depth research on biodiversity, ecolabels, environmental certifications, and case studies to develop a comprehensive good practice guide on integrating ecolabels and sustainable public procurement (SPP) into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) as part of the series of 20 Good practices on ecolabelling and sustainable public procurement. This work, prepared for COP16, aims to support countries in encouraging ecolabel uses and aligning their procurement practices with biodiversity conservation goals. By analyzing successful case studies and identifying key lessons, the guide provides practical insights and actionable recommendations to help governments leverage ecolabels and certifications in their policy frameworks, fostering more sustainable supply chains and thus building more innovative conservation strategies.
Other Good Practices
I also contributed to the reviewing, editing and translation of other Good Practices.
Sustainable Textile Market
Project Management
I provided project management support for the initiative driving sustainability in China’s textile industry, focusing on facilitating bilateral communication between UNEP and China Environmental United Certification Center (CEC), streamlining exchanges to align project objectives with stakeholder expectations. Additionally, I contributed to research efforts by gathering data on sustainable practices within the textile sector and identifying opportunities for integrating circular economy principles. I helped ensure the timely delivery of project outputs, supporting the broader goal of fostering sustainability within one of the world’s largest textile markets.
