Clavijo-Ospina brings more than 15 years of experience practicing constitutional law in Colombia. As a clerk on the country’s Constitutional Court, he wrote the landmark 2017 decision that granted legal rights to the Atranto River, a 416-mile waterway that encompasses one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems. Today, Clavijo-Ospina serves as a Senior Constitutional Advisor in the Office of the Inspector-Attorney General of Colombia. 

“I am excited to add more Latin American and Indigenous perspective to ELC’s important work,” said Clavijo-Ospina. “I have been a longtime supporter of the Earth Law movement and am thrilled to have the opportunity to help shape it and propel it forward.”

Hubbard is one of the youngest Directors to serve on ELC’s Board and a longtime sales manager at Comscore, a company that offers media and marketing measurement resources. He has been active in Comscore’s social responsibility programs and co-founded Comscore REAL (Representation and Equity at All Levels), a company-wide resource group for minority employees.

“I look forward to using my sales experience to bring more funding to ELC,” Hubbard said. “This work takes time, requires talented lawyers and demands an incredible amount of partner outreach, so we need our donations to keep up with these needs.”
