Gabriela Kolpak
Peatlands Programme Manager
As Peatlands Programme Manager, I lead Wetlands International Europe’s portfolio of projects, partnerships and policy work to advance the protection, restoration and sustainable management of peatlands across Europe.
Prior to joining Wetlands International Europe, I worked as a Policy Analyst in the Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, where I supported countries in strengthening climate action in agrifood systems through policy analysis and recommendations. Before that, I served as a Senior Legal and Policy Researcher at ClientEarth, leading research and advocacy on EU food, agriculture and soil policy, and engaging closely with NGO coalitions, policymakers and wider stakeholders to drive more sustainable and resilient ecosystem governance.
I hold a BA in International Relations and Area Studies from Jagiellonian University and a MA in Security and International Law from the University of Manchester.
