Jasper Zimmermann is a Canadian journalist of German heritage | '''Jasper Zimmermann''' is a Canadian journalist of German heritage. He is the founder of PeaceQuest.org and initiator of a drive to set up regional Peace Projects Incubators, beginning with a Middle East Peace Projects Incubator (MEPPI) based in Nicosia, Cyprus. He previously worked as a business journalist with Deutsche Welle Online, with a special interest in sustainable business models and finance mechanisms. Before that, he led a research project in the domain of science-led climate policy development, at the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute, which addressed the question: What level of global average surface air temperature warming would lead to 'dangerous' climate change, in terms of the impacts on each of several major Earth systems? | ||
Jasper hopes to help contribute to a public policy discourse that proposes re-focusing the efforts of governments away from funding and preparing for military conflict, and toward providing genuine human security by implementing the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. | |||
