Eivind Hoff joined The Bellona Foundation to head its Brussels advocacy office in late 2007, which recently has focussed on how EU legislation can speed up the phase-out of unabated coal- and gas-fired power generation. Eivind came to Bellona from WWF European Policy Office, where he was in charge of advocacy on trade policy. Before joining the environmental movement on a professional basis, he was a member of the national board of the youth movement of Friends of the Earth Norway. Eivind has also worked for the EFTA Secretariat in Brussels and for the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry. He holds a master’s degree in European studies from the College of Europe and an LLM in public international law from the University of London.
