Sophie Baban hold a Master’s degree in Environmental and Resource Economics. In her thesis, she applied concepts from Ecological Economics to develop a shadow price for biodiversity in order to assess the impacts of illegal elephant trade in Africa and to highlight the resulting ecological and social conflicts.This engagement with global justice issues deepened her understanding of the connections between environmental change, power dynamics, and distributional conflicts.Currently, she work at EKSH in the field of municipal climate protection in Northern Germany. She finds it especially interesting to learn how climate politics are shaped at the regional level in Schleswig-Holstein – and what socially just implications, opportunities, and challenges come with it.
