***   Welcome on the personal page of Sylvain MAECHLER   ***

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in International Relations with a focus on International Political Economy and Global Environmental Politics. I am currently based at the Geneva Graduate Institute, Global Governance Centre. I am also a Research Fellow at the University of Lausanne, Institute of Political Studies.

My research explores the global political economy of environmental governance, with particular attention to biodiversity finance, green financial instruments, and the political economy of sustainability transitions.

My work has appeared in European Journal of International Relations, Environmental Politics, Global Environmental Politics, New Political Economy, Valuation Studies, and Review of International Political Economy. 
You can see my publications on Google Scholar.


I am currently the principal investigator for a project funded by the Swiss National Fund for Research on central banks and environmental governance. 


I hold a PhD in political science from the University of Lausanne titled:
“Accounting for Nature: Risk, Uncertainty, and the Global Political Economy of the Ecological Crisis.”
