About me
My PErsonalty
Hello everyone. I’m Fabian Puckschamel, a keen student of EU environmental policy, environmental law, and European trade policy. Fluent in German, French, and English, with a touch of Spanish, Dutch and Arabic. My academic focus is on transnational corporate accountability and the externalisation of EU law. I’m intrigued by the topics such as deforestation, pollution, and environmental crimes. My writing often delves into these topics, reflecting my commitment to shedding light on crucial environmental challenges. Additionally, I find immense joy in exploring the intricacies of international climate negotiations. 
Even before completing my A-levels in Germany, Bavaria, I found myself drawn to Belgium, a place I’ve returned to during my academic pursuits. As a part of the Erasmus generation, I’ve embraced experiencing new cultures by relocating every year for the past six years. Now, as I embark on my final year of studies in the captivating city of Bruges, I am grateful for the adventures that have shaped me into the person I am today.
