Dr. Adrien Detges
Senior Advisor

Adrien Detges is a Senior Advisor in the diplomacy and security programme and a member of several international research and advisory groups. The focus of his work is making the findings of climate and security research useful for the prevention of humanitarian and political crises. Adrien wants to promote peace and sustainable development worldwide. He sees particular potential in the abundance of new data and communication technologies – but also reason for caution.

“Information is spreading faster and further nowadays. This is both a blessing and a curse. The responsible use of information is critical when dealing with contentious issues and tense situations. At adelphi, I can help differentiate between right and wrong and provide better orientation for society and politics.”
