Katryn Noritha Pasaribu

Katryn Noritha Pasaribu is a Research Fellow in the Department of Technology, Management and Economics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in Climate Economics and Risk Management within Climate and Energy Policy. Her work actively contributes to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and sustainable agriculture.

Her research spans climate economics, risk management, sustainable agriculture, and supply chain dynamics, with concentrated focus on palm oil production systems in Indonesia. She investigates greenhouse gas emissions, voluntary sustainability standards implementation, and socioeconomic challenges faced by independent smallholders, particularly in Central Kalimantan. Her methodology integrates economic modeling with policy analysis to address deforestation drivers and certification barriers.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent thematic focus on palm oil supply chains, examining buyer responsibility allocation for emissions and cost-reduction mechanisms for smallholder certification. These works reveal critical interdependencies between market incentives, environmental outcomes, and policy effectiveness in tropical agricultural landscapes, establishing her expertise in sustainability economics for commodity-driven deforestation contexts.
