Dr. Guillaume Peterson St-Laurent

Guillaume is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Forest Resources Management and the Social-Ecological Systems Research Group. Multidisciplinary by training, Guillaume’s research falls at the intersection between natural and social sciences. His research interests bring together natural resource management, territorial governance, climate change policy and the socio-economic and environmental impacts of extractive industries.


Guillaume is involved in multiple research projects, all of which build on a diversity of mixed-methodologies including innovative deliberative-analytical engagement, expert elicitations and online surveys. First, he is actively involved in the GE3LS CoAdapTree project, which aims to evaluate the ecological, social and economic implications of novel forest management strategies to help forests adjust to changing climatic conditions. Second, Guillaume is closely engaged with research evaluating the key success factors and challenges in building and maintaining on-going stakeholder and public engagement around climate change policy. Third, he leads a research agenda investigating the synergy between climate change mitigation and adaptation actions and their integration, or lack thereof, into public policies. Fourth, Guillaume is developing a collaborative research initiative aimed at analysing the opportunities and barriers faced by community forest enterprises of Central Mexico when scaling-up.
