Christine Nikander currently writes a weekly column and a monthly newsletter about law, policy and business developments related to e-waste and transition minerals. The column is called "The E-Waste Column" and the newsletter is called "The E-Waste Newsletter". She also contributes to "The Just Transition Newsletter" by Palsa & Pulk, which explores how we can achieve a just transition and how companies can become champions for change.

Christine's latest project is called "The 3.5 Percent" and it tells the stories on ordinary people stepping into their power as citizens, volunteers, activists, entrepreneurs, and business owners to push for positive social and environmental change.

Christine also has a blog called "Weser Road Trips" about traveling along the Road of Weser Renaissance in the north of Germany. In the past, she has published a set of short stories and photographs. She is also currently working on a poetry collection, a short story collection, and a series of children's books.
