As a Lui-Walton Senior Fellow, Carlos Correa provides strategic counsel to Conservation International’s leadership to support institutional priorities — natural climate solutions, ocean conservation at scale and nature-positive economies — in a just and inclusive way.
As Colombia’s former Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development, Carlos builds on years of leadership to help advance critical policy goals and shared priorities. He championed Colombia’s efforts toward carbon neutrality and nature-positive outcomes, including leading the development of the country’s carbon neutrality strategy and strengthening Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris climate agreement. This resulted in the legal incorporation of new commitments to reduce greenhouse gases by 51 percent by 2030.
Carlos also furthered initiatives, such as launching a 30x30 campaign and the national roadmap towards carbon neutrality by 2050. In 2022, Colombia announced that it has protected and conserved 31 percent of its lands and 37 percent of its waters, putting it well ahead of the global goal to protect 30 percent by 2030. Carlos serves as a World Economic Forum Champion for Nature.
