Till Neeff works as a carbon finance consultant for FAO. He advises FAO at an exciting time when private sector interest has moved nature-based solutions to the center of carbon markets. In the early 2000s, Till researched land use change and its carbon impacts across Latin America. He then joined EcoSecurities, a UK-based leader in global carbon markets, and toured large parts of Latin America and Southeast Asia scouting for carbon investment opportunities. In 2010, Till switched to the public sector to manage a grant portfolio at the German Ministry of the Environment’s International Climate Initiative. Over the last few years, Till has served as a consultant for both the public and private sector on topics related to carbon markets, mitigation policy, and carbon accounting.
