2023 Distinguished Alumni Award

The GHG Management Institute presents the Distinguished Alumni Award annually to a learner who has demonstrated remarkable training achievement and has applied what they’ve learned within their professional pursuits. Please join us in congratulating Lilián Sánchez Flores as the recipient of the 2023 Distinguished Alumni Award!

Lilián’s training and success strengthen our community of GHG management professionals. Choosing a single recipient for the Distinguished Alumni Award is a challenging task, as the remarkable commitment demonstrated by our 2,700+ GHGMI alumni in 2023 was truly impressive.

Lilián joined the Diploma in Carbon Management in April 2022, with the financial support of the GHGMI Scholarship Fund, and completed it in May 2023.

“In 2019, I graduated college determined to tackle the climate crisis. After two years at a Mexican NGO focused on climate change mitigation, I yearned for a deeper understanding of GHG emissions metrics to complement my social science background.

Discovering GHGMI’s Diploma in Carbon Management provided precisely that opportunity, and receiving a scholarship from the Institute was a true blessing. Shortly after completing the program, I secured a position in the investment team of one of Mexico’s largest pension funds, where my focus lies in integrating climate analysis into a $55 billion portfolio.

The knowledge gained from the Diploma has proven invaluable, equipping me with tools to pursue my deepest goal: revitalizing planet Earth.”

We are deeply grateful for Lilián’s dedication and perseverance, which continues to inspire us. Enhorabuena, Lilián!
