Joel Scriven - REDD+ Consultant
About
I am a consultant with broad-ranging environment and sustainable development experience in developing countries. In 2010 I completed my doctorate at the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute, having started in October 2007. I'm fluent in English and Spanish, and have a particular interest in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific regions.
My specific expertise relate to mechanisms to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation, forest conservation, sustainable forest management and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+); and the governance, economics, safeguards and monitoring relating to these activities. I currently work for the UN-REDD Programme within the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the UN, focusing on REDD+ Monitoring and Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV).
I have consulted for diverse public and private institutions on issues relating to the environment and international development, including JPMorgan ClimateCare, the CREES Foundation and the Forestry Commission of Great Britain. For more information on past clients and the REDD+ consulting services I offer, visit the Services page.
My other professional experience includes advising BAA Ltd on reducing the environmental impacts of the airline industry, coordinating scientific marine research for an international NGO in Fiji, and working in a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) project management team of the UK Government's Environment Agency.
