I am thrilled to share that I have just completed the "Introduction to Human Rights and the Environment" course offered by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). This insightful program has significantly deepened my understanding of the critical connection between human rights and environmental protection. In today's rapidly changing world, this knowledge is more important than ever. The course highlighted how human rights and environmental health are intrinsically linked. Protecting our environment is essential for safeguarding fundamental human rights, such as the rights to health, clean water, and a safe habitat. It also emphasized that global challenges like climate change, deforestation, and pollution are not just environmental issues but also human rights crises. Tackling these challenges requires a rights-based approach. Understanding the international legal frameworks that uphold both environmental and human rights standards is crucial for effective advocacy and policy-making. This knowledge is essential for promoting sustainable development and ensuring that no one is left behind. As we navigate the complexities of today’s global challenges, this course empowers us to advocate for policies that protect both people and the planet. 

I'm pleased to have the article "The Circular Bioeconomy: Pathways to Sustainability and Resource Optimization" now accepted in Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy Journal (Springer Nature) in collaboration with Dr. Arun Lal Srivastav 

The RIAS and Utrecht University are now welcoming papers for the jointly organized symposium “The Montreal Moment: Ozone Depletion and the Rise of International Governance,” which will be held in Middelburg from 5-6 June 2025. Finalized in 1987, the Montreal Protocol represented a landmark multilateral environmental agreement, regulating the production and consumption of dangerous compounds and setting standards in international environmental governance that are still regarded as paramount. The ways in which the Montreal Protocol was achieved, the discussions and negotiations it unleashed and entailed, the questions and issues it raised on multiple scales invite historians to further reflect on its origins and legacies vis-à-vis the contemporary rise and consolidation of a complex international environmental governance system. We invite proposals that address these issues and put the Protocol within the broader framework of environmental internationalism in the 1970s and 1980s. The deadline for submissions is 15 December 2024.

I am honored that my research at the University of Maryland Baltimore County was published by Environmental Research Letters! Guided by Dr. Yusuke Kuwayama, I conducted a scoping review with an amazing team of fellow authors to raise awareness about using direct or indirect satellite-derived data in combination with demographic, socioeconomic, and health data to advance environmental justice. Satellite-derived data can increasingly be incorporated into support tools to help government agencies, policymakers, city planners, and community leaders make effective decisions using evidence-based planning to mitigate environmental inequities and reduce health disparities.
