Anouk Fransen

Utrecht

Anouk Fransen is a PhD researcher at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Utrecht University, interested in the governance of nature and unfolding politics at the climate–biodiversity interface. Her PhD research examines how, why, and for whom actors and forms of expertise are framing, deploying, and evaluating Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) at the climate–biodiversity interface, shaping what comes to be “counted” as solutions to the twin challenges of climate and biodiversity. Engaging with a number of NBS in diverse contexts (e.g. Milan, Detroit, Mobile), she critically examines how governance along these shifting and unfolding climate–biodiversity frontiers is accomplished.
