Welcome! Welcome! Also to our new CEPNET Programme Officer, Luc St-Pierre. Luc is Canadian and has come to Kingston with his wife Nora Silva and a little newborn daughter Sofía Emilia.

He has specialised in developing GIS tools and databases and other information systems for the management of natural resources and for the environment with academic institutions, private companies, international organisations and government bodies. He will provide support for the regular activities of CEPNET as well as for the development of new projects. You can communicate with Luc either in French, English or Spanish at lsp.uneprcuja@cwjamaica.com to get or give information, develop projects or just to let him know about your organisation.
