About Me   About Me
During my study of international law, I gained much interest in a variety of global environmental issues, with my master's thesis focusing on what sustainable use of endangered species entails and how it is implemented in practice. After my graduation, I started working on more environmental issues, especially climate change, with a great diversity of people from all kinds of disciplines.

In these years, I got more and more concerned with the climate change problem and the inability of states to do move forward at the international level. Also, I feel that the awareness of the problem, although increasing, is still not high enough, due in part to the still vocal sceptics of climate change science.

I hope my work can in the end contribute to moving the world in the right direction. In the meantime, I'll enjoy my work and getting to know this amazing world and all its inhabitants.
