Professional Profile 

I am Jael Pérez, a sustainability and climate professional with over 10 years of international experience at the intersection of business, government, and multilateral cooperation. My career spans diverse roles in business development, project management, renewable energy, corporate climate strategy climate risk management, climate national plans and multi- stakeholder partnership engagement with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in different topics.

I hold a Master’s degree in Sustainable Resource Management from the Technical University of Munich, where I specialized in climate, air, and water management,  renewable energy  and environmental politics. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, reflecting my ability to navigate both technical and organizational dimensions of sustainability.

Professionally, I have worked across Colombia, the United States, South Korea, and Germany, managing projects, initiatives and partnerships in different sectors and areas. Within the UNFCCC context, I have contributed to initiatives on climate ambition such as the support the implementation and enhancement of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), carbon market mechanisms, and multi-stakeholder climate strategies. 

In recent years, I have expanded my expertise into climate data analysis, climate risk modeling for climate policy, and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to biodiversity protection, climate risk management and decision-making in climate policy. I am particularly interested in how AI can support anticipatory governance, policy coherence, and inclusive climate action—topics I am eager to explore further through doctoral research.

In parallel, I continue to explore the intersection between personal development and professional practice, particularly around ethical AI, systems thinking, and the human dimensions of technological transformation.
