During the last years, Catalina Combariza has been working in projects to ensure access to affordable and clean energy for all the Colombians, especially in post-conflict territories. She believes that energy is not just a climate change concern, but it serves as a prerequisite to improve quality of life through better access to basic social services such as health, education and clean water and sanitation, and as a tool to provide opportunities for decent work for all, reduce inequalities, promote women empowerment and stimulate conditions for peace building.

She holds a Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia, and a double Masters degree in Environmental Science and Technology and Resources Management for the Tropics from UASLP (Mexico)/FH Köln (Germany).
