QUNO’s Program on Sustainable and Just Economic Systems

FWCC Asia West Pacific Section & Quakers Australia’s Peace and Legislation Committee invites you to meet QUNO Geneva staff member Andrés Naranjo and hear about his work to address the root causes of plastic pollution by advocating for plastic subsidy reform in international agreements. Johan Cavert, Program Assistant in the QUNO Human Impact of Climate Change Program will also attend.

Before joining QUNO, Andrés worked with UNICEF as a junior analyst, where he was responsible for identifying income growth opportunities by benchmarking UNICEF’s results against those of comparators. He also supported United Nations work in various fields, such as disarmament with UNODA and humanitarian action, and contributed to academic research on sustainability and climate change.

Andrés is deeply committed to exploring the interconnectedness of global challenges and is driven by a passion for justice and the power of human stories. His work is motivated by a genuine desire to contribute positively to the world and foster a more equitable and sustainable future for all

Andrés works in the Sustainable and Just Economic Systems (SJES) program. The program made significant strides in 2024, advancing its work to address the root causes of plastic pollution by advocating for plastic subsidy reform, fostering strategic partnerships, and contributing evidence-based insights to key international processes.
