She has over twelve years of experience in the peacemaking sector at field and policy levels. With an original specialization in the political economy of conflicts, she has worked for various NGOs, the UN, the EU, and donor states in the Middle East, Latin America, Sub-Saharan and North Africa, and parts of Asia. In her fieldwork, she has explored how globalization and the international political economy shaped patterns of violence and vulnerability as well as formed new types of conflict systems that our international governance architecture has difficulty tackling with agility. There she came to observe how the plundering of ecosystems feeds conflict systems across the world and contributes to climate disruptions. </p><p>‍</p></div></div></div><div class="drawer-close-button"><div class="flex-horizontal w-embed"><svg width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <rect x="0.121094" y="17" width="24" height="3" transform="rotate(-45 0.121094 17)" fill="currentColor"/> <rect x="2.12109" width="24" height="3" transform="rotate(45 2.12109 0)" fill="currentColor"/> </svg></div></div></div></div></div></div><div role="listitem" class="w-dyn-item"><div council-member="Omnia El Omrani" data-mixpanel="council-info" class="speaker-inner future-forum-inner"><div class="ff-vision-council-card-image-wrap"><img loading="lazy" alt="" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331.jpeg" sizes="(max-width: 479px) 90vw, (max-width: 767px) 46vw, (max-width: 991px) 42vw, 14vw" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331-p-500.jpeg 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331-p-800.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331-p-1080.jpeg 1080w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331.jpeg 1536w" class="image-cover"/><div class="speaker-overlay"></div><div class="vision-council-designation w-condition-invisible"><p class="overline margin-bottom-0 w-dyn-bind-empty"></p></div></div><div class="ff-vision-council-card-bottom"><h3 class="heading-6 margin-botttom-4">Omnia El Omrani</h3><p class="paragraph-small margin-bottom-8 opacity-70">Medical Doctor and Climate Change and Health Policy Fellow at Imperial College London</p></div><div fs-scrolldisable-element="when-visible" class="card-drawer"><div class="card-drawer-close"></div><div class="card-drawer-inner"><div class="card-drawer-image-wrapper"><img loading="lazy" alt="" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331.jpeg" sizes="100vw" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331-p-500.jpeg 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331-p-800.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331-p-1080.jpeg 1080w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/636a6e4ec898fbe4c19dd514/65b68d1cb9cd360abc534c0d_IMG_8331.jpeg 1536w" class="image-cover"/><div class="card-drawer-overlay"></div></div><div class="card-drawer-content"><div class="card-drawer-content-top"><h4 class="margin-bottom-12">Omnia El Omrani</h4><p class="paragraph-small opacity-70">Medical Doctor and Climate Change and Health Policy Fellow at Imperial College London</p><div class="button-wrapper"><a href="#" class="ff-standard-link w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty"></a><a href="#" class="ff-standard-link w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty"></a></div></div><div class="card-drawer-rich-text-wrapper"><div class="card-drawer-rich-text w-richtext"><p>Omnia El Omrani is the Climate Change and Health Policy Fellow at Imperial College London and one of the first Health Envoys for the 28th UN Climate Conference (COP28).
