DPhil Law, 2023

I’m currently pursuing a DPhil in Law, with a specific focus on International Environmental Law. My research is centered on the regulation of agricultural emissions within the framework of the UN climate regime. It attempts to confirm the existence of a regulatory gap in the UN climate regime, leading to a lack of international stimulus on domestic and regional agricultural climate policy implementation compared to other sectors. I am researching options to close the gap, addressing the question of how stricter obligations to reduce agricultural emissions can be imposed under international law by examining methods of interpretation, possible amendments to existing treaties and new instruments to regulate agricultural emissions.

Besides my academic interests, I really enjoy playing sports, spending time outside, and travelling to other countries.
