The United Nations Convention of Biological Diversity has its own youth advocacy group, called the Global Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN). In 2016, I attended the Conference of the Parties in Cancun, Mexico and represented global youth in the COP. We advocated for youth to be considered a key stakeholder in the implementation of countries' National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plans. 

 

After the COP, I have been involved with GYBN as a member of the Colombia branch. Most recently, GYBN Colombia launched a position statement regarding the environmental issues associated with the pandemic-induced national strike in Colombia.

​

I have also worked with my PhD advisor, Prof. Kai Chan to train the Costa Rican delegation to the 2021 CBD COP on transformative change for the Post-2020 Biodiversity Targets.
