OUR STORY

After a large trajectory working at the Green Climate Fund, Jessica Jacob, our CEO and founder, was convinced about the need to create a vast network of Latin American & Caribbean professionals and opening opportunities to youth with the same objective:  to offer the best quality services to undertake sustainable solutions that transform the region and our communities.

The importance of understanding the local context and entities is a priority. That's why SURECO & Partners acts locally to contribute to the global Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on climate change, gender inclusiveness, and opening opportunities to the youth and vulnerable communities.

For SURECO, success is measured according to the results and impacts each project represents to a nation, institution, community, among others.

Nothing is as powerful as generating long-lasting paradigm shifting solutions.
