Yensi Flores Bueso (United States)
With the GYA, I was not only able to co-lead the first global study on research assessment but also to serve as a steering board member of CoARA. GYA opened platforms for me as a researcher coming from a country without research infrastructure.

COP is a chance to bring scientific evidence closer to the people who make decisions and fund action, so that climate policy rests on evidence and real trade-offs, not on good intentions alone. This is the spirit in which I’ll join the side event “The Cost of Silos: Turning the WEFE Nexus into Investable Climate Action”, 📍 Blue Zone, Türkiye Youth Pavilion, 🗓 Thursday, 12 November 2026 | 15:15–16:00.💡Our panel will look at how the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus can help policymakers, financiers and practitioners:🔹 bring nexus evidence into national climate and water planning🔹 count lifecycle costs and avoided damages, not just upfront costs🔹 make institutional responsibilities and investment decisions clearer🔹 combine innovation, ecosystem-based action, resource efficiency and circular practices so that adaptation and mitigation move forward together.ℹ️This panel ties together several strands of my work with the European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) Working Group on Water, where we turn scientific evidence into advice for European policymakers on water, the Resilience Economics and Sustainable Risk Transitions-IRDR ICoE International Centre of Excellence (ICoE) at the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, which I lead and which works on disaster risk reduction and resilience grounded in science, the Generation Youth Energy/GY-Energy NKUA network that gives young people a voice in energy and climate debates, the Plan Bleu, Global Young Academy, Femise NetworkE Network and C4T Community of Practice work on water finance, sustainable management and resilience.💪All these work streams share one conviction: connecting disciplines, sectors and generations is how we build resilience that lasts.💚Grateful to share the panel with: Emre Alp, Alexandre Strapasson Huriye İncecik Ceylan Nazli DemirelIf you’re at #COP31, please come by.
