Johannes, PhD, is working at ICTA (UAB) as a post-doc researcher in international research collaborations and as an environmental auditor and policy consultant. He was trained as a geographer at the Humboldt University, Berlin. He further holds an MSc in European Master in Environmental Studies (MSc) from Univeridad de Aveiro, TU-Hamburg, Aaalborg University and UAB. He completed his doctorate studies on urban ecosystem services under a joint supervision agreement (cotutela) between ICTA and the Stockholm Resilience Centre and defended his doctorate thesis at Stockholm University in 2015.
Research Interests
My work focusses on the interaction and interlinkage between humans and nature. This includes a better understanding of the benefits nature provides to people as triggers of environmental stewardship. It also includes considerations of justice and equity in ecosystem services provided to current and future generations and societal groups within them. I am motivated by work that has practical implications and triggers change for this I am closely interacting with policy, planning, corporate and civic action groups at multiple scales and across different environments (including cities, agricultural landscapes and wetlands).
