Åsa Moberg is a Senior Research Fellow within the Cities, Communities and Consumption Team – Societies, Climate and Policy Support Division at SEI Headquarters. Her current work is focused on sustainable food consumption and business supply chains, and on finance for sustainable development.

Åsa’s background is mainly in inter- and transdisciplinary environmental research, using a system’s perspective. Her motivation lies in bridging sustainability research with policy and practice, facilitating the decade of action. Prior to joining SEI she worked as programmes director at Mistra, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research. At Mistra, Åsa initiated research programmes in e.g. the areas of “societal transformation for climate action” and “sport, ‘friluftsliv’ and the environment”, organized events connecting research, finance and policy as well as arranged evaluations of research proposals and research programmes. Åsa was also responsible for setting up and heading an expert function around sustainable asset management within Mistra, an effort which included following up on sustainability in the portfolio through annual dialogues with the foundation’s external asset managers.

Prior to Mistra, Åsa worked at IVL the Swedish Environmental Research Institute, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Innventia/RISE. Her previous research has mainly been in the field of environmental and sustainability assessment, and focused different areas such as digitalization, media, waste management and circular economy.

Åsa still works 20% with asset management for sustainability at Mistra, is an adjunct member of Mistra’s asset management committee and is on the board of Swesif, Sweden’s Sustainable Investment Forum.
