For the better part of a decade, Pasha Feinberg has advocated for responsibly developed and operated renewable energy and removing market barriers for renewable energy globally. She has extensive experience forming and leveraging multi-stakeholder groups to improve policies, permitting, siting, and operations. Before settling into her current climate change and renewable energy niche, Pasha conducted ecology research in Mexico, Australia, Tanzania, Kenya, and the United States to better understand the relationships between biodiversity, human health, and other ecosystem functions and services. She also previously worked on blue carbon ecomarkets and reducing emissions from deforestation and land use change in neotropical and Indomalayan rainforests. Her goal is to meet a native animal on each continent and has high hopes that Antarctic penguins are friendly!
