Emily Quispe is a professional in Forestry Sciences from the National Agrarian University La Molina in Peru. She has complemented her education with academic internships in Spain and Italy, focusing on Social Innovation, Territorial Capital and Local Development. Her dedication to promoting inclusion and female leadership has led her to work with vulnerable women in urban environments, contributing to the development of district-level gender and climate change political agendas. Currently, she is immersed in projects implementing resilient practices for women in coastal and Amazonian communities, fostering economic growth through bio-businesses and other initiatives that strengthen their role in resource sustainability. Quispe strongly believes that achieving gender equality and active women’s participation requires a comprehensive approach encompassing conflict resolution and the construction of more equitable societies.
