Head of the Mitigation and Emission Inventories area at the Climate Change Office in Chile’s Ministry of the Environment, where she coordinates the elaboration of National Biennial update reports on Climate Change and the implementation plan of Chile’s commitments under the Paris agreement (Chile’s NDC), which aims to reduce GHG. She is part of the Roster of Experts of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and expert rewier National reports and GHG inventories. Her expertise is in GHG emission reductions of public policies, measurement, reporting and verification for mitigation actions. In 2006, she graduated from the University of Santiago, where she studied Geographical Civil Engineering. She holds an MPA in Environmental Science and Policy from Columbia University. From 2007 to 2010 she worked on atmospheric pollution issues on the National Environmental Commission (CONAMA). Since 2010 she has been part of the Climate Change Team in the Ministry of Environment.

Identificar posibles vías de desarrollo para medidas de Economía Circular (EC) para el sector de residuos alimenticios en Chile, con potencial de mitigación de GEI relevante. Este reporte también describirá las potenciales barreras para la implementación de medidas de EC identificadas y propondrá posibles condiciones que propicien la EC en Chile.
Los sistemas de procesos de aseguramiento de calidad (QA) y control de calidad (QC) se establecen para mejorar la calidad de las métricas climáticas nacionales incrementando la transparencia, la coherencia, la comparabilidad, la exhaustividad y la exactitud de los datos. Este documento se centra en resumir definiciones clave, componentes de un sistema QA/QC para proyecciones de GEI, así como ejemplos prácticos de implementación de sistemas QA/QC para proyecciones en la Unión Europea (UE).
Este documento tiene como objetivo detallar la aplicación empírica de conceptos asociados a sistemas de QA/QC en la Unión Europea, en específico abordando como hacerse cargo de la calidad de los datos, del modelo y de los supuestos utilizados en un sistema de proyecciones de las emisiones de GEI, de modo que sirvan de inspiración práctica para abordar estos ámbitos en el Sistema Nacional de Proyecciones de Chile, actualmente en implementación.
