Dr. Jasmine Livingston

Researcher
Global Sustainability Governance

Jasmine Livingston is a researcher at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development. She is a core team member of the work package international constraints and enablers of decarbonization in the ENGAGE consortium which aims at supporting the development of new climate policies to deliver on the Paris Agreement. Her main research interests lie at the intersections between environmental governance, science and technology studies, and environmental science, in particular the relationship between climate change science and international climate politics. 

 

Prior to joining Utrecht University, Jasmine was a Post Doctoral Researcher at Lund University in Sweden. In this position, she looked at the roles science and politics have had in the framing and production of 1.5 degrees as a climate target and what voices were articulated in this process. She obtained her PhD from Lund University in 2018, which looked in particular at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and how climate change knowledge is made and its relationship with the UN climate negotiations. She has also been a visiting researcher at the Environmental Policy Group at Wageningen University. 

 

Jasmine has a broad interdisciplinary background with masters degrees in environmental geography and environmental policy from UK universities. She has participated in courses on environmental assessment, public understanding and communication of science, climate change science, environmental politics, as well as climate modelling. She also has teaching experience on a broad range of topics at different levels, including environmental governance, social research methods, applied climate strategies, land use, and interdisciplinarity in environmental research.
