Nicole Klenk

Nicole Klenk serves as a Guest Researcher at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities, University of Bergen, specializing in interdisciplinary environmental governance research that bridges science, society, and policy-making processes.

Her scholarly work investigates how state and non-state actors, institutions, rules, and discourses shape environmental decision-making at strategic and operational levels. Professor Klenk emphasizes theoretical and applied approaches while advocating for pluralistic knowledge systems in governance frameworks. Current initiatives include community-engaged research on environmental adaptation, exemplified by her curation of international seminars connecting scholars with communities facing ecological transformations.

Through projects like "Engaging communities in studying environmental change," she facilitates global knowledge exchange focused on self-determination in environmental contexts, reflecting her commitment to democratizing environmental governance through inclusive research methodologies.
