Yasmina Choueiri

I’m a self-driven specialist in environmental planning, impact assessment and water governance with more than 15 years of experience.

I’ve worked as a researcher and environmental consultant in the academic and professional fields. I've applied strategic thinking to find holistic solutions that improve environmental performance of urban areas and communities, in different multidisciplinary and multicultural projects such as Lebanon’s Water Security Pilot Project; Lebanon’s Informal Infrastructure Byblos 100 Resilient City, and others.

My Ph.D. assessed the Lebanese Informal Water System at 3 levels: 1) Environmentally through an energy-water nexus and carbon accounting; 2) Socio-Economically through a comparative water affordability and disparities of two communities; 3) Governance through a stakeholder analysis of informal water tankers.

At Climate KIC I'm a climate impact advisor and team lead assessing the environmental impact of SMEs where I led the development of 3 main environmental impact assessment methods: Mitigation Potential, Adaptation & Resilience Co-Benefits and Circularity Potential of Startups. I adopted a component-based approach to develop them optimizing their design and delivery.
