Vineta Kleinberga is a Researcher and Scientific Project Leader at Rīga Stradiņš University. Her work focuses on climate policy, energy security, and the socio-political dimensions of environmental challenges. She leads and participates in EU-funded projects such as DeCrises (Horizon Europe), ARM, and PROMPT, addressing decarbonization, authoritarian state dynamics, and misinformation.
Education details are not explicitly stated in the text, but her academic contributions span political science, climate governance, and narrative analysis. Key projects include analyzing Latvia's strategic energy narratives post-Ukraine invasion and studying the impact of authoritarian regimes on civil society.
Research interests emphasize climate policy effectiveness, energy trilemmas (security, affordability, sustainability), and the role of narratives in public perception. Notable datasets include surveys on Latvian climate perceptions and food waste patterns in retail and households.
She has received the Doctoral Student of the Year (2022) award. Her grants include funding from Horizon Europe, the Latvian Council of Science, and EU Cooperation Programmes. She actively participates in academic conferences and media engagements, discussing climate communication and geopolitical energy crises.
Collaborations involve international teams studying authoritarianism's global reach (ARM project) and developing predictive models for misinformation (PROMPT). She co-organized the RSU Research Week 2025 and contributed to media discussions on Latvia's climate narrative challenges.
