Julia Seymour
Master's Student, Sciences Po Paris | APIICC Project: Literature review internship for WP2
Her participation in the APIICC project stemmed from an internship she completed in 2025 with the project coordinator, Mr. Massardier. At the time, she was a Master's student in Human Rights and Humanitarian Action, specializing in Environment and Sustainability, at Sciences Po Paris. The internship aimed to conduct a literature review on democratic innovation applied to adapting agriculture to climate change, as well as on environmental democracy more broadly. She focused particularly on four countries participating in the APIICC project: France, Senegal, the United States, and Mexico. This work resulted in the identification of over 300 articles on these topics, thus contributing to the project's discussions. Deeply interested in the issues related to democracy and climate change, this experience encouraged her to explore these subjects further. She then enrolled in the Master's program in Stakeholder Engagement Engineering at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, a work-study program. Today, she is particularly interested in the intersection between collaborative and participatory approaches, knowledge production and the promotion of human rights in the broadest sense, including the right to a healthy environment and the right to health.
