ABOUT AIMABLE UWIZEYE
Global livestock and climate policy leader committed to advancing sustainable livestock development, animal health, and environmental performance in the face of global change. I bridge science, policy, and implementation—delivering transformative solutions for climate-resilient livestock systems worldwide. As Livestock Policy Officer at FAO, I lead the Livestock, Environment, and Climate Cluster, driving global initiatives and multidisciplinary teams to scale up climate action in the livestock sector. My work supports countries in strengthening Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), integrating livestock-related climate commitments into national policies, and reducing methane emissions.I spearhead FAO’s efforts on sustainable nitrogen management in agrifood systems, focusing on livestock. This includes enhancing GHG inventories, building technical capacity, mobilizing climate finance, and developing guidance for carbon markets. Recognized for being a strategic, innovative, and inclusive leader, I inspire teams, foster collaboration, and thrive in multicultural environments. Lifelong learning drives my approach, and I actively engage with global thought leadership platforms to stay ahead of emerging trends. Areas of expertise: Livestock policy, climate-smart agriculture, greenhouse gas mitigation, sustainable food systems, UN frameworks, international negotiations, capacity building.
