Jamie Jenkins serves as a University Instructor in the Department of Economics and Management at the University of Helsinki and is affiliated with the Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science (HELSUS). Their research focuses on environmental economics with particular emphasis on offshore wind power development and renewable energy transition in Finland.
Jenkins' research interests center on the economic and social dimensions of sustainability transitions, particularly examining offshore wind power development in the Baltic Sea region. Their work investigates ecological compensation mechanisms, stakeholder engagement processes, and the socio-economic impacts of wind power on Arctic communities and indigenous Sámi populations. This research bridges environmental economics with practical policy applications for Finland's energy transition.
Analysis of Jenkins' recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a consistent focus on offshore wind energy development in Finland, with increasing publication output over time. The research spans multiple disciplines including environmental economics, energy policy, futures studies, and indigenous rights, demonstrating an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability challenges. Key themes include policy pathways for renewable energy transition, ecological compensation mechanisms, and the social dimensions of wind power development.
Jenkins actively supervises graduate students, including MSc thesis work on topics like the spatial impacts of innovation on carbon emissions. They are currently participating in the 'University profiling funding 7 InterEarth RESET' project funded by the Academy of Finland (2023-2028), a major collaborative research initiative focused on sustainability science.
As a University Instructor, Jenkins contributes to teaching in the Department of Economics and Management while maintaining an active research agenda focused on Finland's energy transition challenges. Their work provides valuable insights for policymakers navigating the complex trade-offs in developing offshore wind energy while protecting marine ecosystems and indigenous rights.
