Dr. Marlene Kammerer is a Senior Researcher at the University of Bern, affiliated with both the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research (OCCR) and the Institute of Political Science (IPW). She holds a PhD from ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, and her research focuses on climate policy, environmental governance, and international climate negotiations. She has held various academic positions, including PostDoc at the University of Bern, and has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Helsinki under a DocMobility Scholarship. Her work bridges the gap between international climate commitments and domestic policy implementation, with a particular emphasis on federal systems like Switzerland.
Marlene Kammerer's education includes:
- PhD in Political Science from ETH Zurich and University of Zurich (2014-2018)
- Master of Arts in Environmental Management & Policy from Free University of Berlin (2010-2013)
- Magister Artium in Political Science, Economy, and Psychology from University of Munich (2003-2009)
Her research interests center on climate policy networks, federal climate governance, and the dynamics between international climate agreements and national policies. She examines how global climate summits influence national decision-making, particularly in Switzerland and Germany. Her work also explores local climate policy initiatives and the challenges of implementing ambitious climate targets at sub-national levels. She employs policy network analysis and discourse theory to understand the interplay between actors, beliefs, and institutional contexts in shaping climate policy outcomes.
Her publications analyze the effectiveness of climate policies, the role of COP meetings in global governance, and the challenges of federal climate governance. Recent work includes studies on polycentric engagement in climate negotiations and the rural-urban divide in climate mitigation efforts. She co-edits a special issue on local climate policy, highlighting emerging research in this critical area.
Scientific awards and grants include:
- DocMobility Scholarship (2017) for her PostDoc at the University of Helsinki
Kammerer has advised on several projects, including studies on Swiss climate policy and the role of federalism in climate governance. She has collaborated with international researchers, contributing to comparative analyses across countries like Finland, South Korea, and the United States. Her work often involves large-N analyses and policy harmonization indices to quantify the 'words vs. deeds' gap in climate commitments.
She is part of the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research and contributes to the Policy Analysis and Environmental Governance (PEGO) professorship at the University of Bern. Her research group focuses on climate policy networks and federal governance structures.
