Susanne Stoll-Kleemann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Susanne Stoll-Kleemann (* 1969 in Weinheim as Susanne Stoll ) is a German geographer and professor of sustainability science and applied geography at the University of Greifswald .

Career

After studying geography and political science, Susanne Stoll-Kleemann worked for the German Development Service , Berlin, a. a. in Nepal and Thailand. She then did her doctorate with a doctoral scholarship from the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt at the Technical University of Berlin from 1995 to 1998. From 1998, she took up a post-doc position at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich and worked at EAWAG Zurich (Dept. for human ecology). From 2000 to 2002 she was a research assistant at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and headed the BEAR project. From 2002 to 2004 she was a research assistant at the Free University of Berlin in a project on vulnerability and adaptation to climate change. In 2004 she moved to Humboldt University as a research group leader in the “Governance of Biodiversity” (GoBi) project funded by the Robert Bosch Foundation . In 2007, Stoll-Kleemann accepted the call to Greifswald and became Professor of Geography at the University of Greifswald . There she continued the project “Governance of Biodiversity” until 2009. In 2008 she took over the Chair for Sustainability Science and Applied Geography (W 3) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the Institute for Geography and Geology at the University of Greifswald

Since 2010 she has also been leading the master's degree in "Sustainability Geography and Regional Development" in Greifswald.

research

Stoll-Kleemann and her interdisciplinary team focus on transformation research and behavioral geography as part of a transdisciplinary and very application-oriented research approach.

Stoll-Kleemann became known through her research on acceptance problems for nature conservation measures. In the globally anchored research project “GoBi (Governance of Biodiversity)”, she primarily examines factors for the successful management of biosphere reserves and other protected areas. Although the potential of the concept of biosphere reserves as promoters of sustainable development is very high, Stoll-Kleemann comes to the conclusion that there are serious gaps between theory and practice that cannot be resolved in a growth-driven world and that sustainability acts at best as a fig leaf.

Stoll-Kleemann is currently researching in particular the prerequisites and barriers for individual sustainable behavior as a last resort to stop the transgression of planetary boundaries . This includes the consideration of the globally increasing resource-intensive lifestyles, which lead to a strong demand for animal food and very high mobility requirements (especially frequent flying) as particularly harmful behaviors that violate the human rights of residents in particular of the global south . She integrates environmental and social psychological models and findings to explain environmentally (un) fair behavior.

The interdisciplinary environmental, social sciences and behavioral geography research into the obstacles to a sustainable lifestyle in industrialized social systems and possible solution strategies (e.g. the recognition of justification strategies or rebound effects) are not only a central focus in research, but also in teaching within the framework the master's and bachelor's degree programs such as "Sustainability Geography" and "Landscape Ecology".

The sustainability cluster of the Interdisciplinary Research Center Baltic Sea Region (IFZO) has been her responsibility since 2019.
