2a0e6cfdb2eed988d9be814d8c06da84 research overview <p>My current research interests centre on five interrelated areas at the interface of geography, environmental politics and international studies. The first is global environmental governance, with a particular interest in the United Nations Forum on Forests and other forest-related international organisations, including the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the UN REDD+ mechanism. Research in this area also focuses on private sector governance schemes in shaping norms and rules, the interactions between public and private spheres in environmental governance, and the democratic regulation of business corporations. The second is environmental philosophy and environmental law, and in particular the role that different rights claims play in shaping environmental politics and domestic and international law, with an interest in the moral claim that nature has rights that precede those of humans. The third is the relationship between science, technology and politics with particular interests in two areas: forest science, and geoengineering. The fourth is research into national forest policy in the United Kingdom within the context of pan-European forest policy. The fifth is the relationship between ideas on sustainability and heritage, both environmental heritage and urban heritage. A common theme to all areas of research is the relationship between theory and practice and how research can&nbsp;help to generate&nbsp;policies and governance that promote long-term environmental sustainability.</p><p>I welcome applications from prospective PhD students interested in all areas of environmental geography, environmental policy and environmental politics.</p><p>I&#39;m a member of the<a href="http://www.open.ac.uk/openspace/">OpenSpace Research Centre</a>.</p><h5>Books</h5><p>Humphreys, D. and S.

2a0e6cfdb2eed988d9be814d8c06da84 biography <p>I landed at the Open University in 1995 after working in accounts and as a merchant seaman. During a two year career break in the 1980s I travelled extensively, developing a concern about global environmental degradation along the way. This eventually led to a PhD in international forest politics at City University London and to my current research in global environmental governance, politics and policy.</p><p>I have served as an advisor to the World Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development, as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the European Forest Institute and with various UK government delegations to the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF). I have been a UK representative on two EU-funded research programmes:&nbsp;COST Action E19 on&lsquo;National Forest Programmes in a European Context&rsquo;; and COST Action FP1207 on&lsquo;Orchestrating forest policy analysis in Europe&rsquo;.

2a0e6cfdb2eed988d9be814d8c06da84 Description <p>I landed at the Open University in 1995 after working in accounts and as a merchant seaman. During a two year career break in the 1980s I travelled extensively, developing a concern about global environmental degradation along the way. This eventually led to a PhD in international forest politics at City University London and to my current research in global environmental governance, politics and policy.</p><p>I have served as an advisor to the World Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development, as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the European Forest Institute and with various UK government delegations to the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF).
