Jan Christian Polanía Giese is a Senior Manager and heads the Sustainable Consumption team at adelphi, a berlin based Think-Do-Tank. His work enables scientifically sound consumption policy and supports this through specific implementation projects involving a wide range of stakeholder groups. For Jan Christian, the design and application of effective instruments to inform consumers about sustainable consumption patterns and lifestyles is critical, particularly in an e-Commerce setting. His geographical scope is national as well as global.
“Consumption-oriented sustainability policy cannot replace production-related regulatory measures, but rather supplement them in a variety of ways. Through my interdisciplinary work at adelphi, I keep an eye on the wishes and needs of citizens and can help prepare the ground for the urgently needed, profound changes to our lifestyles.”
