Arne Jungjohann is the Director for the Environment and Global Dialogue Program of the Washington office. The focus of his work is identifying and promoting solutions towards a low carbon economy. Transatlantic cooperation on domestic energy and climate policies such as cap and trade and feed-in tariffs for renewable energies is a key aspect for this. In its Global Dialogue Program, Arne engages in international negotiations to contribute to a just and fair global climate treaty. In cooperation with other offices of the Heinrich Boell Foundation, efforts of emerging economies such as China and India are highlighted and brought to attention to US policy makers.

Before joining the Washington office in 2007, Arne worked as a senior advisor for Alliance 90/The Greens in the German Bundestag. Arne has extensive experience on environmental, energy and climate legislation. Among other things, he worked on the implementation of the EU’s emissions trading scheme and on Germany's Renewable Energy Act. He holds a Masters of Arts in Political Science of the Free University Berlin and has a passion for soccer.
