Life

Heleen de Coninck (actually Helena Catharina de Coninck) spent her childhood in Wageningen and Vlissingen . She studied chemistry and environmental science with a focus on climate change and atmospheric chemistry at Radboud University. She then worked as a scientist in atmospheric chemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry . In 2009 she did her PhD at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam on the role of technology in international climate negotiations. She worked at the Energy Research Center of the Netherlands for more than ten years . In 2012 she was appointed to Radboud University. She is a board member of the non-profit organization Climate Strategies , which is active in the areas of environmental policy networking and advisory work for political decision-making bodies.

De Coninck lives on a houseboat in the Ooijpolder and has a daughter.

Act

De Coninck's work focuses on climate protection and international climate policy . Among other things, she made contributions to the understanding of CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) . She argues in principle for the inclusion of CSS technologies in the CDM (Mechanism for Environmentally Compatible Development). In her article Trojan horse or horn of plenty? Reflections on allowing CCS in the CDM , published in Energy Policy in 2008 , she made a concrete proposal on the conditions under which a consensus on this could be reached. She conducted research and worked in an advisory capacity for the UNFCCC , UNIDO and UNEP as well as the World Bank and various governments and actors in the private sector. As the IPCC author, she is one of the editors and coordinating lead authors of the special report on the capture and storage of CO 2 (2005) and one of the coordinating lead authors of the special report 1.5 ° C global warming (2018) published by the IPCC . In the public debate about ways out of the climate crisis , she points out the dramatic consequences that failure to meet the two-degree target would have for the earth.
