Hello everyone, I am a scientist working on finding sustainable solutions to problems in the ways people use nature. At the moment I particularly work on whole socio-ecological system governance. I have a strong interest in politics and at times I'll speak french (bonjour à tous!)

Iceland, Greenland, Norway and UK should be joining the EU - and we need to bolster defence against Putin.
