How should leaders respond to climate change, biodiversity loss and growing pressure on the world’s natural systems?
In this episode of Her Voice, Dr Éliane Ubalijoro, chief executive officer of the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), speaks with ESCP Business School about her path from molecular genetics to global environmental leadership.
The conversation traces how science, policy, technology and Indigenous knowledge can shape more resilient landscapes, and why nature should be treated as infrastructure that supports economies, communities and life itself. Ubalijoro also reflects on the kind of leadership needed to work across disciplines, institutions and generations in the face of climate urgency.
