Dr Nina Rogers is an experienced climate policy advisor, human geographer, and social researcher, specialising in climate risk governance at the municipal level. Nina’s PhD examined leadership for municipal climate change adaptation and the opportunities to progress climate mainstreaming in local government. Nina enjoys working alongside governments and organisations to understand and integrate climate risk considerations into their strategic planning, decision-making, and governance. Nina is particularly passionate about strengthening organisational cultures, leadership, and change management processes that foster responsibility for climate action. At Climate Futures, Nina provides climate governance and mainstreaming advisory services, group facilitation, qualitative research, and research translation to inform decision-making. Nina’s life in academia is preceded by nearly two decades working in climate policy and strategic leadership across three levels of government. This includes eight years with the Municipal Association of Victoria as Manager of Climate and Environment Policy, and Principal Policy Advisor/Team Leader to the national Garnaut Climate Change Review. Nina is also a Churchill Fellow (2009) for which she explored regional collaborative approaches to progress municipal climate change adaptation.
