The board 2026-2028
JOHANNES CAIRNS
I am a scientist working on antimicrobial resistance, with a background in One Health and environmental humanities. I have come to see that we all live by some image of a good human life. These ideas profoundly affect our own psychological and physical well-being, our societies, and the more-than-human world. HEH grew from my wish to explore this question integratively and turn knowledge and values into action.

PÄIVI SUIHKONEN
I am a circular economy expert and communications entrepreneur. As a young sociology student, I realized that social structures are not like natural laws, but can be influenced. Since then, I have been involved in many kinds of sustainability work. In HEH's work, I am attracted by the opportunity to gain new insights together with others.
JARKKO PYYSIÄINEN
I am a social psychologist and work as a senior lecturer at the Department of Economics and Management at the University of Helsinki. My research and teaching deals with questions of agency and sustainable change and themes of societal resilience and socially sustainable development. The possibility to explore and work on these themes together in a stimulating company inspires me also in the context of HEH.
NIKO URHO
I am an expert in multilateral environmental agreements and international environmental diplomacy. My work focuses on connecting science and policy, with much of my current work supporting the UN global plastics treaty negotiations. At HEH, I am interested in drawing on insights from different fields and disciplines to broaden my understanding of what a good life means and what conditions enable people and societies to flourish within planetary boundaries.
