Konrad Ott endeavours in research and teaching to impart the competence of philosophical reflection, the achievements of ethical justification and orientation, such as empirical facts in the environmental field. His philosophical focus is on discourse ethics, environmental ethics, theories of justice, sustainability, ethical aspects of climate change, nature conservation reasons and the normative foundations of environmental policy. During his academic career, Ott worked mainly in a transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary manner. Between 2012 and 2018 he was involved in a number of research networks at the University of Kiel, for example in the excellence initiatives “Future Ocean Sustainability” and “Roots“.

Jakub Ciesielczuk is an Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham. Jakub’s expertise covers environmental governance, with a particular focus on environmental legal regimes. Jakub has extensively researched the participation of various non-State actors (e.g., intergovernmental organisations, non-governmental organisations, indigenous groups, and individuals) in environmental legal regimes. Jakub also researches the issues related to the utilisation of marine genetic resources in the context of marine biodiversity. Given Jakub’s practical experience in immigration, human rights and asylum, Jakub is also interested in the intersection between environmental law and human rights, more specifically, the impact of environmental degradation on indigenous people and vulnerable communities.
