{:en}Claudia Horn completed her Ph.D. in International Development at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her book manuscript, The Environment for Finance. How International Projects Shape Land and Rights in the Brazilian Amazon, is under revision and projected for publication in 2026. It critically examines G7 environmental aid to Brazil’s Amazon and the building and local contestations of institutional and technological structures for green economies, including carbon markets. Her upcoming book examines Rosa Luxemburg’s ecological critique of capitalism. She also holds two master’s degrees in sociology from the New School for Social Research and the Technical University of Dresden, and her interdisciplinary research links international environmental politics, agrarian studies, and development studies. Between 2018 and 2023, Claudia Horn researched based in Belém, Pará, Brazil, where she also worked for the city government.

Having a background in environmental sciences my focus shifted from natural sciences towards questions of responsibility and justice in my two masters programs on Environmental Ethics and Sustainability Science. Having studied in Lima, Lisbon and Kiel, I am passionate about coastal regions and inter- as well as transdisciplinary knowledge transfer. During my time at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, I was able to broaden my view connecting climate issues with migration, agriculture and biodiversity with partner countries from three continents. I currently am a PhD Candidate at Vienna University, in a project in Ethics.

Francesca Savoldi is a transdisciplinary scholar with a PhD in human geography. Her work concerns the dimensions of power, politics, space and place, currently with a focus on coastal cities and maritime areas.

As a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at TU Delft (2021–2023), she investigated the contested and evolving condition of port cities. Grounded in critical geography and political ecology, her work examined how emerging politics of circulation reshape spatial and ecological relationships, sparking civic resistance and socio-political emancipation in port cities.

Francesca has worked on several high-impact EU-funded projects on topics such as citizen science, climate change adaptation and inequalities in coastal environments, blue economies, and policy (Jean Monnet Chair), as well as post-conflict urbanism. She has conducted research and lectured at several universities including TU Delft, Erasmus University, Ca’ Foscari University, Glasgow Caledonian University, and Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
