László Pintér, PhD

» Director - Measurement and Assessment

László Pintér joined IISD in 1994 and has been serving as Director of the Measurement and Assessment Program since 2003. During his time at the Institute he has conceptualized, contributed to and led projects with emphasis on the state of the environment and sustainability reporting, sustainable development indicators, performance evaluation, and integrated assessment in place-based, sectoral or global contexts. He brings a mentality strongly rooted in systems-thinking and a strategic approach, illustrated by his work on national sustainable development strategies.

László has established strategic collaborations with major international partners such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). During 2000-01 Dr. Pinter spent ten months as a Global Environmental Assessment Practitioner Fellow at the Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University, where he carried out research on the relationship between global integrated environmental assessment system design and effectiveness. Besides leading a growing team of high-calibre staff and associates, he often serves as an advisor to various international bodies, but also values opportunities to contribute to and learn from practical sustainability initiatives face-to-face at the community level.

Prior to joining IISD he worked in the biotech industry as Marketing Director for Diagnostic Technology, Inc. in the United States and as Marketing Director for Deltaco RT in Hungary.
