Director of Strategy for COP28
UAE Climate Change Special Envoy
Tina Latif was one of the lead negotiators for the Paris Climate Agreement and currently serves as the Director of Strategy for COP28.
Her overarching career goal is positioning climate action as an economic opportunity, especially in parts of the world that historically, or politically, have not seen it as such. Her work focuses on shifting the narrative on climate change – transforming it from an ideological and altruistic issue, to one that delivers jobs, economic growth, and business opportunities.
Tina is originally from Melbourne, Australia, and began her career as a banking and finance lawyer at a leading Australian firm. She completed her Master of Public Administration at Harvard, graduating from the John F. Kennedy School of Government with a focus on enabling government executives towards innovation.
