Vanuatu's Advisor
Diana Kupper
Diana Kupper is a green finance and sustainability professional with broad experience in climate action, energy transition, investment planning, and policy advisory.
As a Green Finance Officer at the Global Green Growth Institute, she has lead work on climate finance, supports European initiatives helping cities advance climate action, and engages diverse stakeholders to drive inclusive, low-carbon development. Her work focuses on aligning technical, financial, and policy elements to enable inclusive, high-impact climate solutions.
Her background spans public and private advisory roles, corporate strategy, and economic analysis.
“What resonates deeply with me about the CFAN initiative is its targeted, country-driven focus on enhancing the ability of Pacific countries to access, deploy, and implement climate finance effectively. Overcoming institutional barriers is essential to accelerating climate action, particularly in small island states that are both highly vulnerable and under intense time pressure to build climate and fiscal resilience against future emergencies and adverse impacts related to climate change. I see this assignment as a meaningful opportunity to support Vanuatu in developing robust, bankable project pipelines, structuring investment-ready project opportunities, and navigating the complex climate finance landscape, including multilateral funds, innovative financing solutions, and blended instruments.”Follow Diana on LinkedIn
