Guest Speaker: Dr Klara Winkler, Deputy Science Director NSERC-ResNet, Department of Natural Resource Sciences, ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù

Klara Winkler is a sustainability scientist interested in human-nature relationships and processes of sustainable transformation. She uses a governance perspective to research these phenomena on multiple levels of social-ecological systems – from the individual to supranational organizations. With her research, Klara aims to better understand how actions of individuals and policies relate and affect each other. The focus of her work is on highly-developed countries where a sustainability transformation is urgently needed to have ecological systems that can contribute to human well-being today and in the future.

Klara will take us from German vineyard landscapes to the lands of ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù and share her thoughts on why it is important to be aware of individuals when making decisions for society.
