Eva Lövbrand is a Professor at Linköping University in Sweden, affiliated with the School of Thematic Studies (Institutionen för Tema) and specifically working within Theme Environmental Change (Tema Miljöförändring). Her academic career spans multiple institutions including Kalmar University, Lund University, and international research stays at Stockholm University, University of Melbourne, University of Auckland, and University of Colorado.
Her research focuses on the intersection of environmental politics, knowledge production, and policy-making processes, particularly examining how scientific ideas and expert practices shape environmental governance. Lövbrand has made significant contributions to understanding climate governance, the Anthropocene concept in political theory, youth representation in climate politics, and carbon market mechanisms. Her work critically analyzes how environmental problems like climate change become knowable and governable through specific expert practices and measurement systems.
Lövbrand's recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward examining societal transformations in response to climate change, with particular attention to youth representation, spatial dimensions of climate transitions, and the political implications of the Anthropocene concept. Her research increasingly addresses questions of justice, representation, and the practical challenges of implementing climate policies in complex societal contexts.
She serves as Deputy Program Director for Mistra Geopolitics: Sustainable Development in a New Geopolitical Era, and is Scientific Coordinator for the Earth System Governance Project's Conceptual Task Force on the Anthropocene. Lövbrand is also a member of the editorial boards for several prominent journals including Global Environmental Politics, Critical Policy Studies, The Anthropocene Review, and Earth System Governance Journal.
Lövbrand leads and participates in multiple research projects including the Center for Climate Policy Research (CSPR), research on youth representation in world politics, and studies examining Sweden's transition to a fossil-free society. Her work combines theoretical innovation with practical relevance to contemporary environmental challenges.
