DrAparajita Banerjee

I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, College of Business at University College Dublin.

I received my Ph.D. in Environmental and Energy Policy from the Department of Social Sciences at Michigan Technological University, USA. In addition, I hold a MA in Economics degree from Jadavpur University, India.

I am interested in research that examines the intersection of society, the environment, and government policies. I study socio-environmental problems at different scales local, regional and global. I have conducted research in countries like India, Mexico, Ireland, and the United States.


My current research is inspired by the belief that societal transition to deep decarbonization and a sustainable future should truly be just and equitable for all. I am interested in exploring how society is impacted by wicked problems associated with energy and environmental (in)justice, climate change inequality, and biodiversity conservation. I have published on topics like comparative public policy, social acceptance, and rejection of alternative technological developments, ethics of energy development. I also have an interest in exploring the challenges in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals at micro, meso, and macro levels.
