Public lecture discussing the role of data in global environmental policymaking at Universitas Indonesia

On April 7th 2026, Prof. Maria Brockhaus gave a public lecture at the The Faculty of Administrative Sciences at Universitas Indonesia titled “The Role of Data in Environmental Policymaking in the Global South: Barriers and Opportunities”.

The talk emphasized the strategic role of data and information in the policymaking process, and how data is not neutral, but rather a social construct shaped by objectives, definitions, and the actors involved in its collection and presentation.
