Faryde Carlier

In her role as Conservation International’s Economic Incentives Fellow, Faryde Carlier will provide pivotal support for the organization's engagement on countries' National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans to further the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. In addition, she will support the development of Conservation International’s strategy on economic incentives, particularly concentrating on scaling up positive incentives for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and the elimination, phase out or reform of incentives — including subsidies that are harmful for biodiversity. Her responsibilities include advocating for policies and programs that support nature-positive economies.

For most of her 15-year career, Faryde has been actively engaged in multilateral negotiations and discussions related to the environment and sustainable development. Her previous positions include serving as the Colombian government’s director of economic, social and environmental affairs within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and as a counselor for Colombia’s delegation to the United Nations. Faryde is currently based in Bogotá, Colombia. She holds a degree in economics, specializing in international business and international economic law.
