In the past year, Nina has worked as a political advisor in the European Parliament focusing on climate and transportation policy. Her years in the EU system have shown her how extraordinarily difficult it is to pass climate policy that aligns with science. Nina is joining the Blavatnik School of Government to become better equipped at changing that. Her primary interests concern renewable energy infrastructure and how to further effective public-private cooperation to end energy poverty and halt climate breakdown. Previously, Nina worked as an organiser on national electoral campaigns, sat on the Danish youth climate council advising the Minister of Climate and led work in local non-profit organisations. Nina grew up in Denmark, and has lived in Singapore, Brussels and the US. She completed her bachelor’s degree at Copenhagen Business School and Cornell University.

Nina is a Blavatnik School of Government Public Service Scholar.
