My research addresses how we create sustainable, resilient, and healthy cities. I am particularly interested in how local actors contribute to reducing climate risks and adapting to climate change. This includes how local political initiatives and cross-sector collaborations emerge to address the climate crisis and how these are implemented on the ground. My research also highlights how cities engage in transnational networks as an active part of their work on addressing climate change, and whether collaboration and knowledge exchange at the city level offer new policy instruments and approaches to managing the climate crisis.

Recently, my research has focused on the relationship between technology, disaster management, and resilience in the EU, and how municipalities and emergency organisations use social media to communicate with and gather information from citizens.

My research concerns the following topics: sustainable and resilient cities, global and local climate policy, climate adaptation policy, transnational city networks, disaster and crisis management, city diplomacy, sustainable development.
