The nongovernmental World Resources Institute announced Thursday the appointment of Paula Caballero to the position of global director for its Climate Program. Caballero has held positions with the Colombian government, the United Nations Development Program, and the World Bank, with much of her work involving climate and environmental issues. “I am just so excited to be joining the great team at WRI, an organization with a strong reputation for deep, cutting-edge analysis, combined with forward-looking and innovative projects,” Caballero said in a WRI release.
In her new position Caballero will “work with WRI’s global staff and partners on issues related to international climate action, such as the UNFCCC and implementation of the Paris Agreement, mobilization and tracking progress on national and sub-national climate goals, advancing U.S. climate action and resilience at the federal and state levels, and overseeing fundraising and communications efforts,” according to the release.
