Louise Mollenhauer (she/her) joined the European Union | Global Dialogue office of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in August 2022 and currently leads the Climate, Agriculture and Trade Programme. As part of the office's Green Transformation Team, her work focuses on the intersection of climate policy, global trade, and agricultural systems, with particular attention to the international dimension of Europe’s green transition. She works on issues such as sustainable food systems, deforestation and land-use change, and the role of trade policy in advancing environmental and social standards. A key focus of her work is how EU climate and trade policies affect global supply chains and partner countries, especially in the so-called Global South.

Previously, she worked at the European Parliament, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP e.V.).
