Henrik Landis is CCL’s Legislative Fellow this summer! He is a rising senior at Trinity College.

Henrik is committed to political advocacy to advance environmental policies. Growing up in the Appalachian Mountains of Northern Georgia, he developed a deep appreciation for the natural environment. He is entering his senior year at Trinity College where he will earn a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy and Law. He has traveled a long way from Georgia, including attending the Danish Institute of Study Abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark earlier this year. Once he graduates next spring, Henrik plans to move to Washington, DC where he can apply his leadership and political advocacy skills.

This summer, though, he has been serving as a Legislative Fellow with our Government Affairs Team. He provides support with advocacy and research, including conducting climate policy research, attending and taking notes on congressional hearings and other relevant events, joining advocacy meetings with Congressional staff and other stakeholders, and providing administrative and outreach support. He hopes to gain valuable work experience to learn more about himself and what his career interests are.

Henrik enjoys playing soccer, golf and tennis. He also loves water skiing, hiking and spending time in nature. Best of all, he gets to share these experiences with his border collie, Percy.

Henrik believes “environmental policy is imperative to the sustainability and future of the planet. It is important for people and organizations to plead for the implementation of this policy.” With his help, CCL is able to advocate for better, more effective climate policies.
