by Jens Radschinski

Regional Lead

For 6 years, Mr. Jens Radschinski had taken on the role of the Regional Lead at UNFCCC’s Regional Collaboration Centre (RCC) for Asia Pacific, situated in Bangkok in the beginning of 2017, before he decided to focus on Carbon Markets, Carbon Pricing and Implementation of Art.6 of the Paris Agreement as an independent regional expert for these topics, at the RCC Bangkok. Prior to his current stint in Thailand, Jens was working with the UNFCCC Secretariat in Bonn, Germany for over five years. At RCC Bangkok, he supported project participants and Designated National Authorities (DNAs) of host Parties on the implementation of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects and the transition to Article 6 of the Paris Agreements. He also led other activities the Centre is undertaking, namely in the fields of green finance, carbon markets and carbon pricing, MRV/Transparency, NDC support and Global Climate Action (under the Marrakesh Partnership). Before joining UNFCCC, Jens has had extensive professional experience in Asia-Pacific where he was active as a CDM project developer in the region. It was during this time that he built expertise in wastewater management, renewable, and waste management. Jens holds a degree in Geology/Hydrogeology from the Free University of Berlin, Germany.
