Participants of the Mountain Futures Summer School in Kunming, Yunnan

I taught at the Sino-Europe Young Leadership in Bioeconomy: Mountain Futures Summer School in Yunnan, China, from August 12–25, 2026, together with Prof. Jianchu Xu. The summer school was hosted by Mountain Futures and the Landscape Alliance (CIFOR & ICRAF), together with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a range of supporting partners.

A journalist covered our travels, and the video below gives a good impression of the summer school.
