Adis Dzebo

Adis Dzebo is a Senior Research Fellow at SEI Headquarters, where he specializes in aligning global agendas and integrating climate action with sustainable development priorities at both global and domestic levels. His work extensively covers policy implementation processes and outcomes, emphasizing the importance of policy coherence, coordination, and integration for the successful national implementation of climate, sustainable development, and biodiversity goals.

Adis thrives at the intersection of multiple issues, exploring how global governance processes and the collaboration between state and non-state actors influence national policy implementation. His PhD research delved into the emergence, effectiveness, and legitimacy of global and transnational governance, the risks posed by climate change across borders, and the role of non-state actors in climate change adaptation.

He manages a major program focused on the role of policy coherence in implementing the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda. Additionally, he is the lead developer of NDC-SDG Connections, a policy tool that visualizes the links between climate action and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Adis is also a key developer of SEI’s AI Reader Tool, designed for reliable and systematic large-scale document analysis. He is passionate about expanding the evidence base on the drivers of successful policy-making and understanding how these drivers manifest across different country contexts.

In addition to his work on policy processes and outcomes, Adis is also interested in the governance of natural resources, exploring how the energy transition and other climate policies impact environmental and social protection. He investigates the complex interactions between minerals, energy, and food systems, analyzing their drivers and consequences both locally and globally.

Adis holds a PhD from Utrecht University’s Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development and an M.Sc. in Climate Change and International Development from the University of East Anglia, United Kingdom. He earned his B.Sc. in Political Science and Economics from Lund University, Sweden. Prior to joining SEI, Adis served as a political advisor on climate and energy for the Green Party in Stockholm and worked as a research assistant at Lund University.
