Anne-KathrinSacherer
I’m excited to work on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) because they are not only essential for climate mitigation but also address other pressing issues, such as biodiversity loss and social development. My work allows me to support both policymakers and private actors in getting a better understanding of the opportunities and benefits as well as the specific challenges and pitfalls of NBS.
Anne-Kathrin Sacherer (maiden name: Weber) holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Freiburg. She studied Political Science with a focus on International Relations. Before joining Perspectives in 2015, she worked as a Research Associate at the Chair of International Relations at the University of Freiburg. In this position, she gained broad research and teaching experience in the fields of international negotiations, international climate politics and private regulation.
As Head of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), Anne leads the team working on the development, implementation, and evaluation of NBS strategies and methodologies. Anne supports clients in developing stringent and high-integrity NBS policies and activities. She regularly contributes to NBS capacity building as well as the evaluation of concrete NBS projects.
Anne also works on topics related to NBS, such as carbon dioxide removals, carbon markets, climate finance and UNFCCC negotiations. She is passionate about research and regularly publishes papers on issues related to global climate and forest governance.
In order to unfold their full potential, NBS activities must be well designed and adhere to the highest-quality and -integrity standards. This is why we not only evaluate existing NBS policies, projects, and methodologies but also develop tools to identify and promote best practices and safeguards. Our goal is to support (future) NBS leaders and therefore provide capacity-building and trainings for actors involved in the design and management of NBS activities.
