Expert and adviser specialized in international environmental policy and governance consultancies
After retiring as practicing lawyer in December 2015 I continue to offer international environmental consultancies in matters of environmental policy, governance, administration and institution-building.
Advice is being provided - mainly in international consultancy projects - on all matters of environmental policy and governance, including national environmental policy and law, EU environmental legislation and international environmental law. Expert advice is also given on administrative and institutional issues of environmental management.
Special expertise and knowledge in the transposition and implementation of EU environmental policy in new Member States and candidate countries have been gained since the year 2000 in leading positions in EU Technical Assistance Projects and Twinning Projects .
Services as resource person in environmental law training and education are also provided which can relay both on academic and practical experience.
In 2009, teaching activities were also resumed, as lecturer at the Free University Brussels on Environmental Policy and Law (2009-2010) and as moderator in e-learning courses of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) International Environmental Law Programme with focus on environmental governance (since 2010, ongoing).
