Following the changes at FSC Australia and in the busy lead up to the General Assembly, FSC’s global Director-General, Kim Carstensen, will be postponing his visit to New Zealand and Australia until 2018.
The visit is now scheduled for the week of the 19th March 2018.
There will be stakeholder receptions for Kim which we hope you will be able to attend.
More about our Director General,
Prior to joining FSC, Mr. Carstensen managed FairGreenSolutions, an environmental strategy and sustainable development consultancy that, among other things, helped link the concepts of ‘Green Economy’ and sustainable development for clients in the global South.
His strategic approach to environment and development issues comes from a long history of global leadership at WWF, most recently as the leader of WWF International’s Global Climate Initiative, where he led the organisation’s development of nationally relevant and climate change programmes in the world’s key economies and its push for global climate action across governments and businesses.
Prior to this he was the CEO of WWF Denmark, where he worked on issues related to global environment and development policy, and to environment and development projects in the global South.
Mr. Carstensen’s broad development experience also comes from his prior role as Deputy Chairman of the Board of Danida (Denmark’s Official Development Assistance Agency), where he participated in broad discussions of development issues in all sectors, and from his academic training as a sociologist.
