EXPERIENCE

Hanna has been working in the field of sustainable development and behaviour change for most of her career. She did her master thesis in New Zeeland as a visiting scholar where she studied ways to facilitate communication between different organisations with shared interest for sustainable development.  After graduation she started working as a project manager and sustainable travel advisor in Region Västernorrland where she specialised in organisational change, policy instruments and mobility management.

Her experience also involves environmental communication and nudging as a method for positive reinforcement – simplifying choices to influence behaviour and decision making towards more sustainable choices for groups and individuals. Hanna has also worked as the project lead for a large EU-funded project in the region of Jönköping coordinating municipalities, regions and businesses promoting collaboration between fields and organisations. In her role at Biofuel Region she advocates knowledge transfer and collaboration processes, highlighting concrete solutions for sustainable transports in northern Sweden.
