I am Atif Yaseen, a Ph.D. student at Mykolas Romeris University in Lithuania. My research expertise lies in sustainable economic growth, environmental economics, and economic resilience.

I am an ambassador of the European Reforestation Network, actively working to build bridges between Europe and the Global South to address environmental challenges through green growth and sustainable development. I am also a member of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) at Mykolas Romeris University in Lithuania (MRU).

Previously, I worked as a Lecturer and Assistant Lecturer in Pakistan and Indonesia, and I completed an internship at the Sustainable Development Policy Institute, Islamabad, Pakistan and University Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, where I tackled critical environmental issues and contributed to sustainable development projects. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to driving impactful change in environmental policy and economic resilience.

Mentoring and collaboration have been integral to my journey. I have worked with policy advisors, research teams, and grassroots communities to create meaningful solutions for ecological and economic sustainability. Sharing knowledge and inspiring innovation in diverse settings has been one of my greatest rewards.

I view this opportunity as a way to contribute to a vision of a world where human and natural systems thrive together. I look forward to supporting aspiring changemakers and sharing my knowledge to foster innovative, scalable solutions for a sustainable future.
