Present role

My duties include directing the Environmental Policy Centre and being part of the lead group of SYKE. I lead national and international research projects (see below) and my positions of trust include chairing and participating boards in the fields of sustainable development, environment, biodiversity and ecosystem services and of research linked to them.

Background

I have been researching and developing environmental and sustainable development governance for more than 20 years. The last 10 years I have been occupied by Europe wide research collaboration where we have focused on challenges in and solutions for human environment relationship. Before that I was involved in intergovernmental environmental collaboration in the Arctic, Asian and European context.

During the last 20 years I have gained experience in international and national environmental collaboration through R&D projects and processes. I am an ecologist from training  (MSc in zoology, University of Helsinki,  PhD in marine biology, University of Wales, Menai Bridge). During my career I have been active in teaching at universities and communicating with the wide audience in written and oral form.

I have always had an orientation towards finding solutions. I get satisfaction and energy from nature, music and my closest. To me, moderateness and fairness are important values.
