GREENING WITH EQUITY—A VOLUNTEER'S VOICE

Being a UN Volunteer with FAO offers me many opportunities
to learn and grow, both professionally and personally. The role
of FAO is critical when it comes to the Sustainable Development
Goal (SDG) 2 that relates to ending Hunger, improving Nutrition
and ensuring Food Security.

With a professional background in International and European 39
Union (EU) environmental law, I focus on the environmental
portfolio of FAO in Sarajevo, and as such contribute to SDG 13 for
Climate Action.

I am grateful to be part of a diverse team of experts. What I
believe I bring to the table is a strong emphasis on a rights-
based approach, making sure that even the most marginalized
members of the society equally benefit from the green transition.
Each of us can take an active role in driving positive change—and
volunteering for the United Nations is an excellent first step.
