Darius Lee is an intern at the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) in Berlin, where he supports the Global Dialogue project. His research interests include the geopolitics of environmental resources (particularly the resource-climate-security nexus), non-state actor participation in global resource governance, EU-Asia trade regulation, and the relationship between development cooperation and human rights protection within supply chains.
