The International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) is
pleased to announce that Dr. Jill Jaeger assumed the position of Executive Director on April 1,
1999. Dr Jaeger has a B.Sc. in Environmental Sciences from the University of East Anglia (UK)
and a PhD. in Geography from the University of Colorado (USA) and more than 20 years of
experience in the organization, carrying out and overall management of international,
interdisciplinary studies of environmental issues.
Dr. Jaeger takes up the position of Executive Director just as three of the IHDP projects complete
their Science Plans and move into the phase of implementation and as the fourth project
completes its implementation strategy. At the same time, there is growing interest in the
strengthening or establishment of national human dimension activities with links to each other
and to IHDP. Furthermore, there is increased need for collaboration between the international
Global Environmental Change Programmes (IGBP, WCRP, IHDP and Diversitas). These
challenges as well as the need to mobilize and co-ordinate support for all of these activities will
be at the core of the next phase of IHDP activities with the new Executive Director.
The previous Executive Director, Dr. Larry R. Kohler, has returned to the ILO in Geneva after two
years that saw a consolidation of IHDP with major progress in the development of a coherent and
exciting research agenda.
