My primary area of expertise is climate law and governance, where I have worked on a variety of topics, including:
- International climate law and governance, UN climate negotiations;
- International public climate finance;
- Climate mitigation, esp. short-lived climate pollutants; climate – air quality policy integration;
- Climate tipping points;
- Science-policy interface, esp. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change;
- Climate laws and policies in national and regional contexts: EU, Arctic, Russia, China.
My approach to research is interdisciplinary, drawing on the fields of climate and environmental law, policy and governance, and, sometimes, science & technology studies. I closely collaborate with climate and atmospheric scientists.
At the UEF Law School, I am also Co-Director of the Master’s Degree Programme in Environmental Policy and Law, responsible for its major in climate law, as well as Director of the UEF-UNEP Course on Multilateral Environmental Agreements.
Prior to academic work, I worked for the UN Climate Change Convention Secretariat, supporting intergovernmental negotiations on climate finance, and International Institute for Sustainable Development – Earth Negotiations Bulletin. I hold PhD in International Studies and MPhil in Environmental Policy, both from the University of Cambridge. I am proud of my Bashkort heritage: Bashkort people are an ethnic group indigenous to Southern Urals in Russia.
