British royal decoration: OBE for Harriet Bulkeley
Last week, Harriet Bulkeley received an OBE from Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal. Announced last June, Bulkeley features in the 2024 King鈥檚 Birthday Honours list for her groundbreaking research on climate change and for services to geography and environmental governance.
Bulkeley holds joint appointments as Professor in the Department of Geography, Durham 木瓜福利影视, and at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht 木瓜福利影视.
I was surprised and delighted to have been recognised in this way. Geography and its potential to address the environmental challenges we face has fascinated me ever since I was at school. It has been immensely rewarding to contribute to research, policy and practice for climate, nature and justice through my work.
Focus on climate change
Bulkeley's research looks at problems and solutions relating to environmental management and governance, with a particular focus on climate change, biodiversity, energy and nature-based solutions.
British ribbons
As in the Netherlands, the British head of state awards people for their services to society and the country on the occasion of his birthday. One of the classes of appointment is the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE).
