Veronica Brodén Gyberg is an Associate Professor in Environmental Change at Linköping University's Department of Thematic Studies, specializing in environmental politics and just transitions. Her work examines climate adaptation and fossil-free transformation through qualitative discourse analysis, with focus on Swedish municipalities dependent on fossil industries and international climate aid frameworks.
Education:
- PhD in Technology and Social Change, Linköping University (2005)
- MA in Science, Technology and Society, Linköping University (2001)
- BA in Politics and International Relations, University of New South Wales, Australia
Her research explores how preconditions for climate transition vary across contexts, analyzing narratives about fossil-free futures in Sweden and environment/climate aid in low-income countries. Current projects include Just Transformation (studying fossil-dependent Swedish cities), GROWL (greening working life), and Amazon forest management research in Brazil's Mamirauá Reserve. She employs discourse analysis and future-making frameworks to examine how municipal and corporate actors envision fossil-free futures.
Recent publications reveal consistent focus on climate aid policy evolution (2021-2025), with increasing emphasis on integrated approaches to climate-security-gender challenges in Swedish development cooperation. Her 2025 work particularly examines how climate aid navigates complexity through cross-cutting frameworks.
As educator, she teaches in Linköping's Environmental Science Program and MSc in Science for Sustainable Development, covering text analysis, interview methodology, gender-environment-climate intersections, research ethics, and colonialism in sustainable development. She supervises student theses and serves on university committees including the Minor Field Studies evaluation group and sustainable development in undergraduate education working group.
She actively collaborates through Linköping's Centre for Climate Science and Policy Research (CSPR) and participates in international projects like the South Africa-Sweden research collaboration focused on climate, healthcare, and education.
