Joanne Burgess

My research focus on the role of environment and natural resources in sustainable economic development, especially developing countries. I have a special interest in forest land use, wildlife management, and environmental risk management. I have undertaken research on the role of international trade on natural resource use and environmental management, including trade in wildlife and forest products. My research interests also include designing policies to promote sustainable economic development, especially given critical global environmental challenges such as climate change, forest land conversion and biodiversity loss.
