PROFESSOR EMMANUELLA DOUSSIS

Course:Climate policies and diplomacy in Southeast Europe

Emmanuella Doussis is a professor of international institutions and UNESCO Chairholder on Climate Diplomacy. She lectures, among others, on international law and international organizations, environmental policies, climate diplomacy and climate policies. Her interest in environmental issues goes back when she was a student in Paris. After a first master’s in public international law and international organizations, she completed a second one in environmental law (Université Paris I). Since then, environmental policies and, recently, climate change policies, have been at the center of her research interests. Her most recent book explores the role of international law in addressing climate change (International Law and Climate Change Diplomacy, Nomiki Vivliothiki, Athens, 2020).

She has been a visiting professor at several universities in France and a Fulbright visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, USA (2022). She has served as advisor to the rapporteur of the European Economic and Social Committee for the preparation of the opinion on EU Climate Diplomacy. She is currently the director of the master’s programme on Southeast European Studies: politics, history and economics and she coordinates a Jean Monnet module (2024-2027) on climate policies and diplomacy in Southeast Europe.

She has been awarded the 2021 Natural Resources International Legal Specialist Award by the Centre of International Sustainable Development Law and the 2024 award for exceptional academic teaching by the NKUA.
