Benjamin F. Schäfer

About

I work at the intersection of climate policy and finance, helping governments and private actors attract the investment needed to deliver their climate commitments — from enabling frameworks to blended finance, de-risking and Article 6 carbon markets.

8+ years across UNEP, GIZ and Deloitte, with a focus on Latin America and emerging markets.
