About Atif
I am a highly skilled Sustainability Consultant based in Dubai, UAE, with a strong background in environmental management, sustainability reporting and a delegate for COP28 at Expo 2020. Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences (Gold Medal), ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification, and a diploma in GIS & Spatial Data Analysis, I bring over four years of professional experience in the field. With a deep understanding of Environmental Management Systems, sustainability practices (corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives), Green Building compliance, GHG accounting, energy modeling, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy development and GIS, I am adept at providing strategic, data-driven solutions that drive environmental stewardship. I focus on implementing sustainable practices that align with corporate goals while fostering positive environmental impact.
As a COP28 delegate, I play an active role in shaping global environmental policies and sustainability practices, underscoring my commitment to advancing international environmental and sustainability efforts. My contributions to climate change initiatives were honored with the Shining Star Gold Medal from Abdul Wali Khan University. Over the past seven years, I have partnered with both national and international environmental organizations, consistently working towards creating meaningful and sustainable environmental change.
