Friederike Hartz

At the University of Cambridge (Pembroke College), I am currently studying towards a Ph.D. in Geography under the supervision of Prof. Mike Hulme. With an undergraduate background in Political Science, I completed a Dual Master’s Degree in International Affairs from Sciences Po Paris and the London School of Economics (2019), as well as an M.Sc. in Environmental Sustainability at the University of Edinburgh (2020). For my Master's thesis at Edinburgh, I recently explored processes of science representation and consensus-building in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the evolution of Loss & Damage from climate change (L&D) as an emerging topic in climate research and diplomacy. My doctoral research at Cambridge will build on this work and further examine the IPCC’s role in climate science and policy with a particular focus on L&D and adjacent concepts.
