My Take

Simone Peter has one of the more striking trajectories I have come across: a trained microbiologist from Saarland who rose to co-chair Germany's Greens alongside Cem Özdemir from 2013 to 2018. I am fascinated by the leap from the laboratory to national environmental politics, because a scientist who can read data and argue from evidence brings a discipline that politics badly needs. Her background as an environmentalist and editor only sharpens that profile. We talk a lot about wanting evidence-led leadership; Peter is what it actually looks like, and I wish there were many more like her.

Overview

Simone Peter (born 3 December 1965) is a German Alliance 90/The Greens politician. Between 2013 and 2018, she co-chaired the party along with Cem Özdemir.
