What is the future of global climate governance? What technologies, policies, and other strategies should we deploy? Most importantly: Who says so, and who benefits?
I explore the politics of scientific assessment and knowledge-making in climate governance, drawing on insights from qualitative research in global environmental governance, expert and participatory assessment, and practices of anticipation and imagination. I explore frontier technology fields impacting global climate governance, with an eye to the entrepreneurial role of scientists, innovation, and civic organizations.
I am an assistant professor in the Environmental Policy Group at Wageningen University (Netherlands). I completed my PhD at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University (Netherlands), and was previously a researcher at Aarhus University (Denmark), the Research Institute for Sustainability (Germany) and the Centre for International Governance Innovation and the University of Waterloo (Canada).
