Mark Grassi

Mark studied languages and politics before specialising in environmental policy at the College of Europe. He has worked as a journalist on food politics in Brussels, as an advocate for renewable energy for the Climate Parliament NGO and in microfinance.



Mark now works for the UN Environment Programme's communication team for Europe. On a typical day he may prepare social media posts, work on a press release or plan an event. You can reach out to him for news enquiries or information on our work in the region, including on any of the articles on this website.



If you are a journalist, an NGO, a teacher or student or someone looking to make a difference to their daily lives and reduce use of single-use plastics or fight air pollution for example, do get in touch. You are also welcome to reach out if you are working on sustainable cacao. You can contact us in any UN language, or help Mark keep up his Portuguese and Italian.
