Ekaterina Rhodes

(She/her)
Assistant Professor, School of Public Administration, University of Victoria

I am a climate policy professor investigating the topics of low-carbon economy transitions and climate policy design using survey tools, energy-economy models, media and content analysis. I hold a PhD in Resource and Environmental Management from Simon Fraser University, and I am currently a member of Canada's Sustainable Development Advisory Council providing policy advice on UN's Sustainable Development Goals in the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy.

In my research and teaching, I focus on the design of effective and politically acceptable climate policies to accelerate the transition to a zero-emissions future. Prior to joining the academia, I worked in the British Columbia Climate Action Secretariat where I led greenhouse gas emissions modelling and economic analyses for the provincial CleanBC plan.
