The Bretton Woods Project is happy to welcome Laure-Alizée Le Lannou as our new Environment Project Officer. In her role, Laure-Alizée will support BWP’s work on environmental and climate advocacy targeting the World Bank.

Before joining, Laure-Alizée worked with the ZOE Institute-for Future fit Economies, where she conducted research on socio-ecological transformation within the European Union. At ZOE, her work included green industrial policy in the EU and creating an Economic Resilience Index for guiding economies towards well-being within planetary boundaries. Laure-Alizée is passionate about new economic thinking, focusing on why our current system leads to ecological collapse and rising inequalities, and exploring ways to transform it for climate and economic justice.
