I hold a B.A. in <em>Political Sciences<\/em> and <em>English &amp; American Studies<\/em> from the <em>University of Freiburg<\/em>, Germany. My B.A. thesis discussed the impacts of food insecurity on political stability in states of the so-called Global South, a topic which I inevitably found to be linked to processes set in motion by climate change. From there on, I wanted to systematically deepen my knowledge on climate change and its socioeconomic as well as political consequences. I am passionate about topics such as climate change adaptation, particularly in the context of smallholder farming, climate change policy-making and climate justice. More recently, I handed in my M.Sc. thesis on climate-related migration and the climate-security-migration nexus in the Central American Dry Corridor. The thesis is intended to be published in conjuncture with the <em>FOCUS Climate Security<\/em> division of the <em>Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding to that, I work as a researcher for the <em>Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research<\/em> <em>(HIIK)<\/em>, contributing to the annually published <em>Conflict Barometer<\/em>, which contains quantitative and qualitative information on violent and non-violent conflicts worldwide. The linkages between climate change and violent conflict, though often indirect, are increasingly observable. I have been directly responsible for various conflicts in Honduras, El Salvador, and Bolivia, and have published brief conflict reports and collected relevant data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having completed various internships in the media sector, I have my strengths in text and media production, both scientific as well as journalistic. Visualisation of data and complicated interrelationships is among my skills I enjoy most. Most preferably, I am working on topics concerned with climate change, food security, and its numerous implications for politics, society, and economy.  After all, current global developments make all this a depressing challenge &#8211; but a nonetheless crucially important one. Getting the information to everyone, regardless of their viewpoint on climate change, is and will remain to be the groundwork for action.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/jona-huber\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/166\/2022\/08\/jona_bew041-732x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159\" width=\"475\" height=\"666\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am currently completing the M.Sc.
