I graduated in Sustainable Technology at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. I am interested in carbon finance in particular the Kyoto mechanisms such as CDM and JI. I have been involved in a CDM project related to waste handling and disposal in Georgia. Prior to my education in Sweden, I was working at a chemical producer company for almost five years where I touched the magnitude of the adverse impact of industrial development on nature, particularly in developing countries. I see economic incentive schemes such as CDM, JI and the EU ETS as having great potential for curbing climate change. In addition to this, in the current economic climate, when many politicians might not consider climate change combat as one of the highest priorities, I believe that raising environmental awareness could be one of the most achievable and effective measures against climate change.
