Team

Our success depends on people joining together for a shared goal. No single discipline has all the answers needed to advance a more sustainable future, and we have found that many exciting new ideas come from dedicated collaboration between different fields – legal and otherwise. That is why our team is led by academics with a diverse range of disciplinary backgrounds. Together, we are committed to producing high-quality, agenda-setting research.
