Nelson Grima, Deputy Coordinator of the Science-Policy Programme of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), supports the design and implementation of projects that generate the scientific knowledge products that serve as a base for a more informed decision making, and then feeds these products and knowledge into relevant, forest-related processes such as UNFF, UNFCCC, CBD, IPBES, CITES, and other international and intergovernmental processes.
With an academic background in ecosystem services, European forestry, and forest engineering, and through extensive hands-on working experience in diverse regions of the world, he gained a deep understanding of human-nature interactions and their effects on ecosystems, livelihoods, and well-being from local to global scale.
