Summary of research interests and expertise
- Environmental/Climate Politics

As part of a broader interest in civil society participation in international environmental processes (UNCSD, UNFCCC), my current research looks at the role of non-state actors in national and international climate governance. I am particularly interested in the role and influence of philanthropic foundations, cities, and elite networks, and how they are shaping the post-COP21 climate agenda.
I obtained funding for and am currently coordinating a that focuses on the study of the Paris Climate Conference (COP21). On the back of my research on COP21, future research plans include research on the debates surrounding the means of transitioning towards a low-carbon economy.
Previous research focused on the role and influence of agricultural interests in contemporary French society and politics.
