Rosa Elena Simeón Negrín was the Minister of Science, Technology and the Environment in Cuba.[1] Her role in government includes raising awareness of environmental issues amongst Cubans.
Simeón took on the position of Minister of the Environment in 1986 at a time when the issue was beginning to feature prominently in the political agenda of Governments and international organizations. In 1989, she participated, for the first time, in the Forum of Ministers of the Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean, whose sixth meeting took place in Brasilia that year. Since then she has played a prominent role in subsequent regional forums and her presence has been widely recognized. Simeón was responsible for directing Cuba's preparations for the Rio Summit. In 1994 she participated in the development of the Alliance of Small Island States Summit (AOSIS).
The ninth meeting of the Forum of Ministers of the Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean took place in Cuba in 1995. Under Simeón's presidency, this event marked a significant change in those forums, with a shift of approach in the way the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) dealt with environmental problems in the region. Simeón attended the Kyoto Summit in 1997, to participate in the discussion of the Protocol that bears that city's name, a Protocol which was developed for the purpose of implementing the United Nations framework convention on climate change.
