Before joining Ghent University, Kevin worked as policy analyst for the Foundation for European Progressive Studies where he spearheaded research on Climate, Environment, and Energy Policy. His past experiences also include collaborations with the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, and United Nations University, where he authored research on the EU’s climate legislation with the aim to bridge the gap between global climate justice and pragmatic policy practice.
His Master’s research focused on normative evaluations of the precautionary principle, the polluter pays principle, and the ability to pay principle from the disciplinary standpoint of moral philosophy.
