Naoyuki Yamagishi

Chief Conservation Officer Director, Climate & Energy and Oceans & Fisheries Division WWF Japan

COP3 in Kyoto inspired Naoyuki to work on international climate policies in his freshman year at Ritsumeikan University. He pursued a master degree in International Relations and Environmental Policy at Boston University. After graduation, he joined WWF Japan in 2003. Since then, his work has been focused on policy advocacy. He covered both domestic and international climate policies. Domestically, he has been working on cap-and-trade scheme and energy policy advocacy and, internationally, he has participated in the UN climate negotiations almost every year since 2003 with the global team of WWF.
