PhD Candidate, Department of Environmental Politics, Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Leipzig
Henry’s research focuses on chemical policy and politics in Germany and the EU.
He examines stakeholder perspectives and their connection to environmental, regulatory, and economic developments using narrative and discursive approaches.
Recently, Henry authored a policy brief exploring potential regulatory options in the ongoing revision of the EU’s fundamental chemicals law (REACH).
