Alexandra Kornilova
Founder and Managing Partner, The Good Climate
Alexandra is an environmentalist, strong business professional, and social change maker. She holds a Master of Science in Environmental Change and Management from University of Oxford. She worked in economic policy advising on best environmental practices; the origination, structuring and sales of carbon credits under the Kyoto protocol; and as an impact investor. She lived and worked in Western Europe over the last 15 years. Since 2021 she has spent a lot of time in the Middle East and has made Dubai her family home.
She believes that to solve the climate crises we have to focus on socio-economic issues in emerging markets, on the countries with growing populations, mostly affected by air pollution, water scarcity, and economic disbalances. Many of these countries are located within a 4 to 5 hour flight from Dubai. Most of these countries have an abundance of solar energy: UAE itself is a leading hub for sustainability in the Middle East.
