Author: Carina Keskitalo

Carina is a Professor in Political Science and researches how the climate, policies and the market affect forest utilisation. Examples are: how Sweden and the EU can limit different forest pests that will become increasingly common with climate change, how Swedish risk management plans could handle other possible climate change effects like storm damage and risks of flood, also how improved communication with forest certification plans can support the implementation of environmental consideration. Carina works for the Department of Geography and Economic History at Umeå University as well as for the Department of Forest Resource Management at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
