Subina Shrestha is a second-year Ph.D. Research Fellow at the Center for Climate and Energy Transformation at the University of Bergen, Norway. Shrestha’s Ph.D. explores the governance challenges associated with sustainable urban mobility (with an empirical focus on the movement of goods and freight logistics) in Norwegian cities. In her Ph.D., she assesses the current state of and potential for collaboration in urban logistics. By mapping stakeholder networks in the sector as well as engaging with stakeholders, Shrestha’s project explores how urban logistics challenges can be addressed through local solutions which integrate logistics into urban planning. In her research, she adopts broader governance perspectives to assess how they influence local policymaking as well as how different stakeholders shape mobility policy mixes at the urban scale.
She has work experience in Nepal, Thailand, and Norway, and her research interests include sustainable urban transitions, urban mobility, and low-carbon development. She is also interested in bridging perspectives across the Global North and Global South, particularly in climate change discourse. Shrestha enjoys working with different stakeholders to address issues of sustainability in a holistic manner. Prior to her current position, Shrestha worked as a researcher on energy transitions and policymaking, watershed management, stakeholder engagement, as well as climate finance.
