About

Nevelina Pachova is a Research Fellow at RMIT Europe, the Barcelona-based hub of Australian University RMIT. Her work is focused on understanding and fostering sustainability transformations through community action across different sectors, contexts and scales. She is interested in understanding how transformative change emerges, evolves and becomes part of mainstream practice and structures and how seeds of change are transplanted across time and space. She is currently exploring how the concepts of nature-based solutions and the just transition are mobilized and employed to foster sustainability transitions in Europe and outside and whether and if so how they can lead to transformative and inclusive action and change. Previously, Nevelina explored the role of arts and culture in sustainability transformations among communities on the margins and supported community action at local hotspots of global socio-economic, political and ecological change.
