Johanna Koehler is Assistant Professor of Environmental Policy and Governance at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her research interests include sustainable water services and net-zero energy transitions. She investigates how risks and responsibilities can be reallocated in hybrid governance arrangements between the state, market, and communities, in particular in new professional water service delivery models emerging across sub-Saharan Africa. Through her focus on the design of the (water) utilities of the future she aims to contribute to the urgent transition to more sustainable societies.
