Socioeconomic activities are driving forces of environmental problems. In the context of globalisation, our daily life, whether related to diet, housing, energy use or other basic services, not only has local effects, but can also significantly influence the development and environment of distant regions through global supply chains. Therefore, my research focuses on the impacts of socioeconomic factors (e.g., international trade, consumption, bioenergy policy, urbanization, poverty eradication) on local and global environment (e.g., land use and land cover change (LULCC), carbon emissions and biodiversity loss) from an interdisciplinary perspective.
