My name is Tigist Endashaw Bealem and I am working as an international Consultant in Climate Action Policy Advocacy based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I engage in various thematic areas: Climate Change and Health, Food Systems, Gender, Youth Empowerment Climate Finance, Negotiations and Policy. I support various Research Institutions, Civil Society Organizations, and Youth Groups in Ethiopia, Africa and Globally in Climate Action Policy advocacy. Coming from a country that is very much impacted by climate change and repeated droughts I greatly appreciate being part of this Community of Practice and look forward to engaging more and contributing to sustainable solutions in country, Africa and Globally. Thank you so much!
