She brings eighteen years of experience of international policy and advocacy in diverse fields, including health, environment, economy, transport and international development. Prior to joining Clean Air Fund, Nina was Director of Policy and Advocacy at the NCD Alliance – a global civil society network headquartered in Geneva – working towards noncommunicable disease prevention and equitable access to healthcare. Nina was previously based in Brussels, where she led the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) as Secretary-General and was Deputy Director of the campaign group Transport & Environment.

Why Nina works for Clean Air Fund:

Clean air is a human right. Clean Air Fund can be the canary in the coal mine, warning of the immediate danger to our health, but also pointing to the solutions. Clean Air Fund catalyses policies and investments that will save millions of lives, avert climate catastrophe and build a fairer world where everyone has a chance to thrive.
