Ida Karlsson is a sustainability expert and researcher with climate mitigation at her core. She works to develop transformative development paths for the supply chains for buildings and transport infrastructure in Sweden within the large-scale research program Mistra Carbon Exit. Here, she applies holistic systems thinking in analyses of alternatives, barriers, enablers, and opportunities on the way to zero carbon dioxide emissions in the value chains for buildings and transport infrastructure.
In close collaboration with companies along the supply chains and governmental agencies, Ida co-develops knowledge around case studies as well as local, regional, and national development pathways to overcome obstacles and accelerate the climate transition in the construction sector.
One of Ida’s main driving forces is utilization and bridging the gap between academia and centers of decision-making. In that direction, she takes an active role internally at Chalmers and is also engaged in various boards and networks.
