Promotion of Inclusive and Sustainable Urban Mobility in Colombia (ProMOVIS)

• Promotion of Inclusive and Sustainable Urban Mobility in Colombia (ProMOVIS)

Senior Advisor
Based in Bogotá, Colombia

I joined TRANSfer in March 2019 and I am working in the development of electric buses in Colombia’s transport systems. After working several years with the Colombian climate change policy advising teams as one of the developers of the greenhouse gas mitigation guidelines for Colombia’s energy and industry sector, I have come to the conclusion that improving transport through alternatives like cycling or the massification of electric vehicles for public transportation could not only improve the way we use energy and its impacts. It also has a huge impact on the way people live and relate with their environment. I want to be part of this transformation.

Advisor on Transport and Climate Change
Based in Bogotá, Colombia 

A sustainable transformation of the transport sector offers great possibilities – it can bring about social justice, improve citizens’ life quality considerably and help protect the climate. That is why I am excited to work in the projects IMPROVE and ProMOVIS. In the IMPROVE project, I support the Colombian Ministry of Energy in developing regulatory instruments to mitigate emissions from new vehicles. In the ProMOVIS project, I support efforts to make transport systems in Colombia more sustainable. Before joining GIZ, I gained experience in climate and energy policy in the Netherlands, Mexico and Germany.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and graduated from Maastricht University with a Master’s in Sustainability Science and Policy. I’m really glad to be able to contribute to the pressing global reduction of GHG emissions and I’m pleased to contribute to improving the transportation system – a sector that affects the quality of life for all of us every day.
