Julen Fernandez Conte

I am a results-driven, diplomatic and engaged European Director, committed to facing environmental and climate change challenges with extensive management experience. I am also committed to enhancing outreach, networking and implementing partnerships in the framework of EU funded projects.

With more than 20 years of professional experience in Brussels, I am firmly committed to the EU values, notably to environmental protection as a human right, as well as to integrity, transparency and accountability.  As a member of the Council of Europe HELP network, I have been active in promoting the course on Environment and Human Rights. At the Council of European Bars & Law Societies (CCBE) I was the first promoter of the creation of its Committee of Climate Change and Environment back in 2006 and member since its foundation. I have also been a jury member of international awards such as the "Crystal Scales of Justice" on modernisation of Justice. I am also a writer and speaker at European conferences.
