Rebecka Engström

Rebecka Engström (nee Segerström) is a post-doctoral researcher at SEED working closely with the Viable Cities strategic innovation program.

Ongoing reserach has two parallel foci:
- Within the Energy Agency funded MESAM project "Beyond Pilots" I am exploring methods and frameworks for system-level transformation in cities that go beyond, tie together and leverage individual pilot projects. This is explored in collaboration with the cities of Malmö (especially looking at sustainable refurbishment) and Lund (especially looking at heat system transformation). Madrid and Amsterdam are also learning partners and study cases in the reserearch project.

- Building further on integrated systems analysis, part of my time will be devoted to research on how climate mitigation and climate adaptation strategies interact (align or counteract eachother), and how taking a risk-based approach can support resilience in the local climate mitigation work.

Before joining SEED, I worked as a researcher at the unit of Energy and Environmental systems analysis at RISE. I hold a PhD from KTH and the department och Energy Technology. In my doctoral research I developed approaches for assessing the interactions between Climate change, Land use development, Energy planning and Water resource strategies (CLEWs) in cities. Prior to this, I worked with integrated water-energy modelling at Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY, USA, and I hold a MSc in Socio-technical Systems Engineering from Uppsala University.
