About
Personal Statement
My main research interest is to explore ways for making policies, plans, programmes and project developments more environmentally sustainable. In this context, and based on practical experiences in the private sector, government and research, I have developed a particular interest in strategic environmental assessment and environmental impact assessment, which I believe are currently the only practical instruments available that can lead at achieving more balanced outcomes.
