Personal profile
Biography
My primary research interests are climate change, low-carbon development and sustainable energy, focusing on the policies, laws and mechanisms being used globally to address these issues. However, I engage with a wide range of environmental law issues, including sustainable chemicals management, environmental justice, and environmental implementation and enforcement.
For the last 15 years, I have been reporting from and analysing UN negotiations on sustainable development and climate change, as a Team Leader with the International Institute for Sustainable Development's Earth Negotiations Bulletin (ENB). I have attended 40+ UN conferences and co-authored more than 130 reports on energy, climate change, chemicals management and other environmental issues.
