Eva Lövbrand is Associate Professor in Environmental Change at the Department of Thematic Studies, Linköping University in Sweden. Her research examines the ideas, knowledge systems and expert practices that inform (global) environmental politics and governance. The politics of carbon has preoccupied much of her work and resulted in critical examinations of the regimes of carbon accounting (e.g. carbon offsetting, budgets) that render climate change governable. In recent years she has also explored how the Anthropocene is imagined, known and acted upon as a political problem.
Eva’s work has been published in journals such as Global Environmental Politics, Global Environmental Change, Environmental Politics, Critical Policy Studies, and Review of International Studies. She is co-editor of the volumes Environmental Politics and Deliberative Democracy: Exploring the Promise of New Modes of Governance (Edward Elgar Press 2010, with Karin Bäckstrand, Annika Kronsell and Jamil Khan), the Research Handbook on Climate Governance (Edward Elgar Press 2015, with Karin Bäckstrand) and Anthropocene Encounters: New Directions in Green Political Thinking (Cambridge University Press 2019, with Frank Biermann).
