Marco has been working at the Department of Sustainable Development (DSD) since January 2002. During this period, he has been involved mainly with climate change programs in the Caribbean, including the Caribbean Planning for Adaptation for Climate Change Program (CPACC) and the Mainstreaming Adaptation for Climate Change (MACC) project. Marco is currently managing the Saint Vincent and The Grenadines (SVG) Enabling Project for Climate Change, which seeks to improve SVG’s adaptation to climate change through upgrading its climate and sea level monitoring system, identifying technologies for sectoral climate change adaptation and mitigation, raising awareness to climate change in public and private sectors, and updating the SVG greenhouse gas inventory. He is also involved in work in support of the Renewable Energy in The Americas Initiative (REIA), and the Suriname and Brazil Bio-conservation Project.

Previous to joining OAS/DSD, Marco worked at ICF Consulting’s Global Environmental Issues office, where he was part of a team that updated the annual US Greenhouse Gas Inventory for the US Environmental Protection Agency, and was also involved in the review of USAID Country Studies reports. He was also for a brief period at The Nature Conservancy, where he supported project work in the climate change/conservation interface.
