Olga Ustyuzhantseva studies various aspects of climate change and sustainable development from several perspectives: climate policy and coal industry transformation in Russia and South Africa; just transition in non-democratic regimes (the case of Russia); social effects of climate change on local communities (indigenous people and urban population) in Russian Siberia and Arctic, how people perceive these changes, how they impact their lives (following the approach of Non-Economic Loss and Damage), and how local and federal authorities address or do not address this impact. Research interests: climate policy and politics; transformative innovation and technological policy; green transition and industry transformation; energy transition and coal phase-out.
