Short presentation

My PhD project investigates how cities respond to increasing risks stemming from climate change. The project focuses on the rise of global city networks and cities’ increasing engagement in global climate governance. I am particularly interested in how cities create new global spaces for urban policy-making and whether these spaces bring about new modes of governance and alternative approaches to the climate agenda. 



Jens Hoff supervises the project.

My research concerns the following subjects: Global environmental change, Global climate governance, Climate change adaptation, Disaster risk management, Urban resilience and sustainability, Cities as international actors, City networks, City Diplomacy, Sustainable Development
