LRI trustees are pleased to announce that, following an open recruitment process, Pascale Bird was appointed as LRI’s permanent Executive Director on 1 February 2024. Pascale has over twelve years’ experience working in the climate arena: attending COPs and subsidiary meetings and delivering training sessions on the UNFCCC regime and its relevance for developing countries, both in the UK and abroad, for a wide range of audiences. Over the years she has developed an extensive network and numerous relationships with the legal community, negotiators and partner organisations, all of which will stand her in good stead as she steers the organisation through its next phase of growth and development.
