Returning from two intense but incredibly rewarding days with #SEI’s Science Advisory Council, where we discussed SEI’s exciting new strategy for 2025-2029. It’s inspiring to see the institute flourishing & growing despite the (geo)political challenges. Looking forward to continued collaboration!

I’ve just joined the Advisory Board of the Development and Peace Foundation (SEF), a German cross-party non-profit organization. I look forward to reconnecting with policymakers & stakeholders in Germany to discuss the planetary emergency & pathways towards sustainability in difficult times.
