Associate Professor

Sylvia is a political scientist with a PhD from Linköping University, Sweden. Her research is focused on understanding the key determinants of what makes global public governance processes on climate change and biodiversity exert influence and build legitimacy across levels. She is particularly interested in the role that accountability mechanisms plays in these processes and how to strengthen them to support action including through deliberation and learning. Sylvia is a member of the Task Force on Scenarios and Models for the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and engages in analysis of and societal debates related to strengthening global environmental governance.
