About me
My core areas of interest and expertise are environmental harm, corporate crime and environmental governance. Past and ongoing studies have for instance focused on e-waste, timber trafficking, shipbreaking and coastal land loss. The difficult balance between economic, environmental and social considerations and between governmental, corporate and civil society governance is what continues to intrigue me and inspires my research.

About me
Sustainable Development is a “wicked problem” – it’s multi-dimensional, it is difficult to solve because of the contradictory and changing requirements that are difficult to recognize. To truly achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it requires collaboration and communication between government, academia, civil society and corporate sector. SDGs also present opportunities:
☑ For Government to reflect critically on their policies and take actions to change them;
☑ For Academia to conduct more "engaged" research to contribute to solving the problems of the society;
☑ For Civil Society Organizations to take a more influential role and adopt a rights-and-responsibility approach;
☑ For Corporate sector to think beyond profit and act in benefit of planet and people.
Everyone needs to work together to solve a wicked problem like Sustainable Development.
Here is where I come in and combine ❝Harmony❞ and ❝Progress❞ to bring about ❝Positive Impact❞:
