I am working as an independent advisor on:
- Sustainable Development;
- Multi-stakeholder processes: dialogue and partnerships of stakeholders, governments, and intergovernmental bodies; participation in decision-making;
- Gender Equity.
I am a clinical psychologist with a doctorate in organisational and
environmental psychology.
After pursuing an academic career for 6+ years, my enthusiasm faded. I was fortunate to attend the UN Cities Summit in Istanbul (1996), which made me think about what I could contribute to sustainable development.

Since 1998, I have been working independently with international
organisations, governments, non-government organisations, women’s networks, companies, and
research institutions.
I develop, coach and facilitate change initiatives that involve a multitude of different people, cultures and interest groups. Issues and contexts vary a lot - there's organizational and
network development, corporate strategy making, inter-governmental dialogues, training in process design and facilitation, evaluating sustainable development partnerships,
and more.
I also work on gender and sustainable development issues, with a recent focus on climate change. Here it's mostly strategy & network development, and advocacy in the UN process on climate.

I have a lot of experience with international policy making, writing, facilitating, and training. What I most enjoy is seeing people developing and fulfilling their potential, and achieving common goals: sometimes in
the conference rooms, often in the corridors, and mostly in the
cities and villages where sustainable development is becoming real, rather than
being talked about.
 | I love developing new initiatives, learning from people, environments and experiences. I love dialogue, reflection, and action. My languages are English, German, and a bit of French. Feel free to contact me at minu(at)minuhemmati.net |
