About Ariane's Work

Ariane de Bremond is Executive Director of the Global Land Programme (www.glp.earth), and Research Associate Professor in Geographical Sciences at the University of Maryland, College Park. Motivated by her time as a development practitioner, UN peacekeeper, and researcher in Central and South America and West Africa working on resource management, community environmental governance, and land rights/use, she works to understand how land systems serve as the ‘meeting ground’ for multiple claims on land for livelihoods, biodiversity, carbon, food production, among others. Throughout, she aims to co-produce knowledge and link science to action towards just and better futures for people and nature.
