IHDP has a new Executive Director!
Dr. Andreas Rechkemmer has taken office as the new Executive Director of the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) on 15 November 2005. The Bonn-based IHDP is the international research programme on global environmental change that fosters interdisciplinary research from a social science perspective. Some of the main areas of IHDP's research are human security and sustainable development in the face of a changing environment, and interactions between institutions and the global environment. Further important foci include production and consumption systems, urbanization, coastal systems, land-use and land-cover change, as well as food and water systems, and the global carbon cycle.
Dr. Rechkemmer comes in from the United Nations University (UNU) where he has been working as a Senior Academic Advisor to the Director of UNU's Institute for Environment and Human Security (EHS) in Bonn, Germany. Prior to that, he served the United Nations as a Programme Officer at the Secretariat of the Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), and worked at the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) - German Institute for International and Security Affairs, Europe's largest foreign affairs think tank. Andreas is a guest researcher at the Social Science Centre Berlin (WZB), and lectures at Free University of Berlin and the European School of Governance (EUSG). He holds a Master in Political Science and a PhD in International Relations. His research focus is on global environmental governance, with particular views to human security and the reform of the United Nations system. Andreas is author, co-author and editor of several books and a number of scientific and press articles.
