A conversation with Dr. Chantal-Line Carpentier

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Chantal-Line Carpentier, who is currently Head of the team Trade, Environment and Climate Change Branch in UNCTAD Division on Trade and Commodities in Geveva. Through the lens of her experience in international environmental governance, we explore multilateral practices and address questions such as: What does the day-to-day work of an environmental officer and negotiator look like in one of the most challenging contexts? What should or could be the role of multilateral organizations in the field of the environment? What can we expect for the future of the protection of the environment in an era of rising unilateralism and authoritarianism? Chantal-Line Carpentier offers a positive message to students and scholars interested in researching multilateralism and to those ambitioning to work for multilateral institutions.
