Anthropocene (In)securities

Eva Lövbrand is Associate Professor in Environmental Change at the Department of Thematic Studies, Linköping University, and an Associated Senior Researcher to SIPRI. Her research examines the ideas, knowledge systems and expert practices that inform global environmental politics and governance. The knowledge politics of carbon has preoccupied much of her work. More recently she has also explored how the Anthropocene is imagined, known and acted upon as a political problem. She is co-editor of the volumes Environmental Politics and Deliberative Democracy: Exploring the Promise of New Modes of Governance (Edward Elgar, 2010), Research Handbook on Climate Governance (Edward Elgar, 2015) and Anthropocene Encounters: New Directions in Green Political Thinking (Cambridge University Press, 2019).Malin Mobjörk was (during the preparation of this volume) Senior Researcher and Director of SIPRI's Climate Change and Risk Programme. From March 2021, she began a new position at Formas, the Swedish funding agency for sustainable development. During the last decade, her work has focused on different aspects of the climate change and security debate. It has entailed work on a process-oriented approach to understand the linkages between climate change and violent conflict as well as research examining how different policy organizations are framing and responding to climate security challenges. More recently, she has published works in Earth System Governance, International Studies Review, the Journal of European Integration, Sustainability, and WIRE Climate Change. In addition, she has published regularly at SIPRI.
