Dr. Harriet Harden-Davies is a visiting Science Diplomacy Fellow at The Fletcher School and a post-doctoral research fellow with the Nereus Program at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS), University of Wollongong. Her work sits at the interface of ocean science, policy, and law, with a particular focus on the role of science and technology in the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. She engages in several international processes, including the ongoing negotiations for the development of a new treaty for biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and the preparations for the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030. She is a member of several international interdisciplinary working groups, including the Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative and the UNESCO-IOC Group of Experts on Capacity Development. She has previously held senior management and science-policy research roles at the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering and the UK Royal Society.
