António Valentim is an Assistant Professor in European Politics and Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Associate at the MacMillan Center at Yale University, and received his PhD in political science from Humboldt University Berlin.
He studies comparative and environmental politics, focusing on political behaviour and political elites in established democracies. The core of his research seeks to answer two questions: (1) when and why voters change their opinions and behaviours regarding climate change, and (2) how political incentives influence political elites’ behaviour on climate change. His work has been published or conditionally accepted at the American Journal of Political Science, the British Journal of Political Science, and Nature Climate Change.
