Franziska Johanna Albrecht

(she/her)

Morocco, Turkey, Afghanistan, USA – Franziska has been on the road quite a bit. After working for several years at various German missions abroad, she decided to change direction and studied environmental and energy law in Kassel. After that, she worked at the Bavarian Academy for Nature Conservation for two years. Franziska joined GLI in April 2022 because “doing worthwhile work for me means championing the protection and rights of my fellow human beings and the biosphere. The climate and biodiversity crises are the greatest challenges of our time, and I firmly believe that the law can and must make an important contribution towards overcoming both.”

Henrike Lindemann

(she/her)

After several inspiring years in the change and transformation scene, Henrike Lindemann is back in the field of environmental law as Managing Director of GLI since the beginning of 2021. Already from 2010 to 2013, she worked as a lawyer in the anti-coal campaign of Deutsche Umwelthilfe. Before that, she had been politically active in the context of international climate negotiations, in addition to her law studies in Frankfurt (Oder) and legal clerkship (both with a focus on international and European law as well as environmental law). “Many environmental associations use access to justice – but so far there has been no actor in Germany that has explicitly and urgently protected and strengthened it. We want to close this gap with GLI and support environmental and climate protection organizations in doing so.”
