Recognizing the vital link between addressing the climate crisis and improving health outcomes, Carmen joined the Geneva Sustainability Centre in 2022. In her capacity, she has been instrumental in advancing various initiatives, notably contributing to the development of the Sustainability Accelerator Tool and supporting IHF Members on their sustainability journey, including delivering masterclasses for Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá in Colombia. Transitioning from over five years of work in Mexico's civil society sector and collaborating as a consultant with USAID to enhance transparency and accountability in the public sector, Carmen shifted her focus to her areas of passion: environment and health.
