    Specialties of Karla Beltran:
    I have a solid background in geographical and environmental engineering both academically and on the field. I obtained the degree of Master in Economics and Environmental Management at Luigi Bocconi University (Milan, Italy) in 2006. I completed additional specialized studies in Climate Change and CDM Projects. Currently, I am a second year Ph.D. student in the Department of Environment at York University (UK). My research project is focused on analysing the effects of climate change on the Ecuadorian Páramo ecosystem and the implications for the sustainable management of key ecosystem services.
