Jiliang Chen is a lecturer of Antarctic law and governance at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) at the University of Tasmania, Australia.
His research interest is the governance of the global commons, with a focus on conserving marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction, including the Antarctic Ocean. Besides his recently completed PhD in environmental policy at Macquarie University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental science and a master’s in environmental management. Before his academic career, he worked on international environmental policies for the Heinrich Böll Foundation (China Desk) and the Institute for Environment and Development. Since 2007, as a civil society representative, he has regularly participated in international environmental negotiations, including the UN climate negotiations, Antarctic Treaty-related meetings, and the UN negotiations on the BBNJ Agreement. In the last decade, his work has focused on consensus-building within international institutions on conservation policies, such as marine protected areas.
