Following this, Teresa is a Program Director, Foreign & Security Policy and Mareike is Program Director, Energy & Environment. Mareike and Teresa share their personal stories and experiences being both Europeans, living and working in the US, navigating transatlantic relations and landing on their value-based job option. The conversation also revolves around upcoming challenges in 2024 related to Ukraine and other conflicts, the election year where more than 50% of the global population will go for elections in 2024 and many other topics that are important to climate, gender and security nexus in transatlantic relations.
