It was a joy to attend the Climate Content Day at the Zurich University of the Arts and speak about widening communication and participation in the climate discussion, and how to speak authentically on the topic.

I watched an episode of Go Jetters this morning that simply explains why glaciers cause sea level rise and I think we need to get them on Joe Rogan

I did my PhD on climate policy institutions & carbon taxes. Then spent 11 years doing various projects including economics of delayed action of the Paris Agreement, climate finance, circular steel, and Lancet Countdown on Health & Climate Change. Then was Head of Climate Research at a consultancy.
