As the UN’s Ambassador for Global Climate Diplomacy, where he will be representing 13,000 cities and all the states and regions of the world leading up to and during the COP30 in Brazil, Eric Garcetti is at the forefront of one of the world’s most urgent challenges: building international consensus on climate action. Drawing on his experience as the former U.S. Ambassador to India and transformative Mayor of Los Angeles, Garcetti brings a rare blend of global diplomacy and urban innovation.
Previously, as the 26th U.S. Ambassador to India, Garcetti helped steer one of America’s most consequential alliances during a time of profound geopolitical realignment — deepening cooperation on defense, climate, technology, and democratic values amid rising tensions with China and shifting Indo-Pacific dynamics. His diplomatic efforts placed him at the heart of global power conversations, where he engaged heads of state, Fortune 500 CEOs, and security leaders to advance regional stability and global economic partnerships.
