VIRTUAL EVENTS
Our need and desire to get inspired and participate has not changed since lockdowns and social distancing. Conferences, seminars and workshops are still taking place in a hybrid form. Speakers and moderators present in a studio while the audience participates remotely. Since COVID I have done a number of keynotes and moderating sessions for international audiences this way. Virtual gatherings are cost effective and truly global; everybody can participate. My professional moderating course and presenting skills have come in handy!
CLIMATE JOURNALISM
I have been a climate journalist for more than twenty years, tackling complex climate issues and translating those into film, books and lectures. My expeditions always focus on climate change and through different media I will continue to ask attention for our precious planet.

EXPEDITIONS
I like the cold. In 2007/08 I skied to the North and Southpole, across the Greenland Icecap and across a frozen river in Siberia. In 2014, I skied from the North Pole to Canada and in 2017 to the North Pole again on a science mission in collaboration with NASA. During the last couple of years, I have taken more than one hundred Captains of Industry to Svalbard to see for themselves the effects of climate change in the Arctic.
Documentaries/films
Himalaya Alert! is about climate change on Mt. Everest, Desert Alert! about the future of the Bani and Niger Rivers in Mali. For our six-part series Tipping Points, I traveled to 15 countries and interviewed hundreds of scientists about the effects of temperature increases that lead to tipping points in our planet. This series aired in 45 countries. Sea Blind is about ship emissions and the opening of the Arctic Northern Sea Route. Currently we are producing SKY GODS the price of our love of flying.
