Bridging science, policy, and community action to fight the triple planetary crisis and establish a just and equitable circular economy for all.
As a Senior Expert in Waste and Marine Litter at GRID-Arendal, I am dedicated to advancing evidence-based, inclusive solutions that address pollution at its source. My work lies at the intersection of science, policy, and practice, supporting governments, NGOs, communities, and partners to tackle the triple planetary crisis—pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. I believe systemic change happens when knowledge and action are co-created across sectors and borders. With a focus on circular economy principles, gender equity, and just transition, I help build resilient systems that serve both people and the planetWhat I Bring
I bring extensive expertise in waste and resource management, with a particular emphasis on plastic pollution and just transition, as well as effective stakeholder engagement at local, national, and international levels. My work focuses on turning complex environmental challenges into practical, inclusive, and impactful solutions. Over the years, I have designed and led capacity-building initiatives, translated scientific research into actionable strategies, managed diverse projects in waste and resource management, and fostered meaningful collaborations across sectors. What distinguishes my approach is the integration of rigorous technical analysis with an understanding of social dynamics, ensuring that the solutions I help develop are both evidence-based and equitable.My Focus Areas
