Hi everyone,
My name is Pierre Geraud, I am a French Affiliate student in Law from Panthéon-Assas University.
Firstly, this year at UCL is a great opportunity for me to engage with ELLS, meet new people, participate in humanly rewarding projects.
For several years now, I have been conducting written reflection on social and public policy issues with other students. In fact, I developed the Sphaera Publica project, dealing with economic, environmental, social and political issues (link: sphaerapublica.fr). ELLS will be able to rely on this experience if I become newsletter editor.
Sphaera Publica is a French project but promised I master very well the language of Shakespeare in writing! Last year, I was Secretary General of the British association of my university. In this context, I wrote articles in English. Here the link: https://aclsparis2com.wordpress.com/news/
Moreover, I am particularly involved in France at the territorial level, where the environmental issue is central. I became this year Great Elector for the French Senate, where I had the opportunity to reflect on the French Biodiversity Net Gain which is currently being debated in France.
Finally, I am sure this newsletter can be an excellent opportunity to make comparisons on environmental policies between the UK and other countries such as France, with interesting debates in perspective!
Looking forward to see you soon around a drink, not just to talk about environmental issues of
