Science is powerful—but only when shared.
In this section, you’ll find my media contributions, where I bring research beyond academia to spark public dialogue on climate and society.
Op-ed on climate finance
In this article, I highlight the urgent need for wealthy countries to move beyond empty promises and finally invest in real climate action. As international summits continue to fall short on financial commitments, it is time to pay up. A fair and just transition cannot happen without significant funding — especially for the countries already bearing the brunt of climate change. The era of symbolic gestures is over; the bill is due.
Radio talks on the climate and health nexus
Climate change isn’t just melting glaciers and fueling wildfires — it’s also making us sick. From heatwaves and air pollution to the spread of infectious diseases and food insecurity, our health is on the front lines of the climate crisis. In these radio talks, I explore how the climate emergency is also a public health emergency — and why protecting the planet means protecting ourselves.

Climate and health on the campaign trail
Ahead of the June 2024 elections, France’s Green Party leaned on the health impacts of climate change to connect with voters on a personal level. By framing the crisis as a public health threat, they aimed to broaden their appeal — but the strategy lacked depth and ambition. This article examines how the health narrative was used.
The health narrative gaining traction
Once absent from climate negotiations, health has now become a rising theme at the COPs. This article traces how discussions on the health impacts of climate change — heat stress, respiratory diseases, mental health — are increasingly making their way into official agendas and side events. But while visibility is growing, real policy integration remains limited, raising the question: is health being truly prioritized, or simply instrumentalized as a new narrative hook?
COP or COP(s)?
In 2022, the climate and biodiversity COPs nearly overlapped, creating confusion, diluted media attention, and logistical strain. This article explores whether holding the two summits together would foster better policy integration — or simply blur distinct political priorities.
