To whom it may concern,

 

My name is Laila Vivas and I am a Ph.D. researcher and climate activist from Barcelona, Spain. I research at the Basque centre for Climate Change (BC3). My research focuses on environmental justice and I am particularly analysing a case study on trans-scalar agricultural relations, looking at three scales:

 

• UPOV as a regulatory scale in the macro level;
• local farming in a region in Barcelona as a geographical and experienced (social) scale in the meso level;
• and a species of Artichoke as a biological scale within the micro level.

 

I am contacting your organization since I am researching UPOV and IPRs, and I would like to learn more on your perspective on how these systems affect other levels and scales. I was wondering if it would be possible to carry out an interview with someone from your organization for this purpose. If it were so, I could send more information regarding my research project (and guiding questions).

 

Thank-you for your attention.

 

Best regards,

Laila
