Nadejda Komendantova

Dr. Nadejda Komendantova is a research scholar with the Advanced Systems Analysis program (ASA). Her research interests include participatory and multi-risk governance of climate change mitigation and adaptation, based on the understanding of views and risk perceptions of involved stakeholders, of governance structures, market and civil society as well as social institutions and political processes towards more adaptive and inclusive governance approach, which is central to the science-policy interface.
Dr. Komendantova is currently a principal investigator of the project 'Linking climate change mitigation, energy security and regional development in climate and energy model regions in Austria' (LINKS) project, which is supported by the Austrian Climate Research Program. She is coordinating the participation of IIASA in the project 'MENA Sustainable ELECtricity Trajectories Energy for sustainable development in North Africa and the Middle East' (MENA-SELECT) supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). She is also the principal investigator from the side of IIASA in the “CO-INFORM, Co-Creating Misinformation – Resilient Societies” project, which is supported by the European Commission.

The work of Dr. Komendantova includes more than 60 publications, among them in the Global Corruption Report (Transparency International), the Global Assessment Report (GAR) report, input papers for the United Nation Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), the chapter on risk governance for the global report issues by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery of the World Bank and contribution to the Global Renewable Energy Report (REN21) as well as a number of other peer-reviewed publications in such journals as Energy Policy, Natural Hazards, Renewable and Sustainable Energies Reviews, International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction and others.

Her work has also been granted awards from the Academic Council of the United Nations as well as the Julius Raab Foundation. She received a number of invitations to speak at high-level forums such as at the Directorate General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission, NATO, Energy Community Secretariat and Energy Charter Forum as well as Economic and Environmental Committee Meetings of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), JRC and Energy Community Secretariat.
