But over time, “I started getting more and more involved in green finance projects,” he says. Policy, he hoped, would give him the opportunity to have a global impact.Īfter college, he was hired as a project assistant at the Inter-American Development Bank, doing administrative tasks. “In Mozambique, I was working with local communities, and I got to see firsthand the impact of climate: how farmers were being affected by droughts and floods, and how the Global South was experiencing the consequences of climate change,” says Lopez. He considered becoming a doctor, but after doing volunteer work in Mozambique, he switched his focus to policy. Lopez always knew he wanted to help people, but he wasn’t always sure what approach to take. A soon-to-be graduate of the MA in Climate and Society program at Columbia Climate School, Lopez is already working full time as the director of partnerships and capacity building at the Morgan Stanley Institute for Sustainable Investing. Johan Lopez’s goal is to make the world a better place. He plans to leverage sustainable finance to promote investments that are good for people and the planet. Johan Lopez will graduate from the MA in Climate and Society program in August.
