Research Interests

My interest in environmental policy started during an internship with youth-led climate policy NGO ClimaTalk which aims to demystify climate policy and UNFCCC processes to empower young people. This was my first experience with UN environmental policy which has increased since then as I explored biodiversity and climate policy through my advocacy work on a national level with GYBN UK (the national chapter of the Global Youth Biodiversity Network, the UN CBD youth constituency) and regional level as a co-coordinator of GYBN Europe and Youth Scientific Advisor for Youth & Environment Europe. Moreover, I have experience of global policy as a policy co-lead in YOUNGO’s Nature Working Group – the youth constituency of the UNFCCC – where I have co-written policy demands related to the climate and nature theme for COP30 as part of YOUNGO’s Global Youth Statement – a synthesis of the collective policy demands of children and youth across the world. These experiences have deepened my interest and understanding of policy and the need for an effective way to monitor progress and prioritise national-level actions if we are to achieve global nature and climate goals which I look forward to researching and contributing to as part of the NATURE Impacts Team, supervised by E.J. Milner-Gulland, Tom White and Talitha Bromwich.
