With Optimism: Jennifer Morgan’s proactive approach to international climate policy

By Rebecca Bertram

Jennifer Morgan’s contribution to the international climate negotiations is featured in the March 2008 edition of Eco@work Magazine, published by the Berlin-based Öko-Institute.

The short portrait (in German) outlines the proactive work by Jennifer Morgan at the international climate negotiations. It explores her approach to building strategic coalitions between advisers of heads of state, who usually do not tend to cooperate much. This enables her to prepare adequate political climate solutions and feed them into the policy discussions.

Jennifer is also quoted, saying:

We need to make countries see all the benefits that arise from global climate cooperation rather than remain focussed on international competition. It is scary how little time is left to make a difference to the global climate – we will need our optimism.”
