View Profile >

As the newly appointed Ambassador for Global Climate Diplomacy for the UN COP30 in Brazil, Eric Garcetti stands at the intersection of international leadership, environmental action, and geopolitical strategy. He is a uniquely positioned global voice on diplomacy, sustainability, and the future of cities in a rapidly shifting world order.

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.

Garcetti also served as the 42nd Mayor of Los Angeles, leading one of the world's most diverse and globally connected cities through a decade of transformative change. Under his leadership, L.A. became a model for climate resilience, smart infrastructure, inclusive economic growth, and innovative urban policy while governing a metropolis whose economy rivals that of many nations.

A Rhodes Scholar and Navy Reserve intelligence officer, Garcetti offers unparalleled insight into the convergence of diplomacy, technology, climate, and urban strategy. Whether speaking on U.S. foreign policy, the global balance of power, city-led climate innovation, or leadership in polarized times, he brings global fluency, grounded experience, and the pragmatic optimism of a leader operating at the highest levels of influence.
