Description of profile
Tania Guillén Bolaños is a Ph.D. researcher at the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS), Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, also affiliated and member of the Research Group Climate and Security (CLISEC) at the Universtität Hamburg (UHH). She has a bachelor's degree in environmental quality engineering from the Universidad Centroamericana (UCA, Nicaragua) and a master's degree in natural resource management and technology from the Cologne University of Applied Sciences (TH-Köln, Germany). She was awarded a DAAD scholarship for her master's studies and selected as an international climate protection fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2015.
She has followed the climate negotiations of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) since 2010, in which she has been an observer representing civil society organizations from Latin America, and lastly as GERICS representative.
Tania participated in the preparation of the special report on "Global Warming of 1.5ºC" of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as a chapter scientist, contributing author, and drafting author of the Summary for Policy Makers (SPM). She is also contributing author and reviewer of the Working Group II's contribution to the sixth assessment cycle of the IPCC.
Due to her experience between climate policy and science, Tania has been invited as a guest lecturer by diverse universities and research centers, among them: Leuphana University Lüneburg (Germany), Uppsala University (Sweden), University of Valencia (Spain), Central American University (UCA) and National Agrarian University (UNA) (Nicaragua), and National Institute of Public Health (Mexico).
In her Ph.D. research, supervised by Prof. Dr. Jürgen Scheffran, she seeks to contribute to the body of research related to what can be considered successful adaptation. She also researches approaches to help evaluate adaptation implementation that can inform the global stocktake established in the Paris Agreement.
