Oxfam International’s Executive Director Winnie Byanyima finds herself on the front lines of the climate change talks in Paris.
Following high profile involvement at two other landmark events in 2015 — the third International Conference on Financing for Development and the Sustainable Development Summit in New York — Byanyima is once again leading a large Oxfam delegation at COP21.
Working primarily with developing country delegations from the G-77 at these negotiations, Byanyima and her brigade of policy advisors are busy following the latest draft negotiating text and proposing strategies to delegations so that they might reach compromises on key issues.
