Alexandre Fernandes has been appointed as the new development director at IIED Europe. As its first full-time director, he will provide leadership to further European Union (EU) research on issues of climate, sustainability and justice
IIED Europe's priority in 2021 is to establish the foundation so that its operations and its strategy are well-founded and clearly communicated with a broad range of audiences in the European Union and globally. By 2022 it will have in place a number of focused workstreams and increased staff capacity, so the foundation can contribute substantively to efforts by a broad range of governments and organisations to address the challenges of climate change, threats to natural systems, the impacts of urbanisation around the world and the roles of private sector actors.
