Felipe Fontecilla

Human Ecologist and founder of Emergence Chile.

Human Ecologist and founder of Emergence Chile. Currently serves as Organizational Development Officer at Uno.Cinco. Felipe ñleads political, educational, and strategic communication efforts on climate justice and just transition across Latin America. Combines sustainability, capacity building, and interdisciplinary collaboration to drive systemic change.

I was part of the coordinating team of Just Transition in Latin America, an international, collaborative research project that sought to participatively define what a Just Transition means for Latin American communities. Through workshops, interviews, and dialogue across countries, we co-produced knowledge rooted in local realities—centering frontline voices, territorial justice, and socio-environmental rights. The project was implemented across multiple regions in Latin America and aimed to inform both policy and grassroots strategies for climate action that is fair, inclusive, and regionally grounded.
