Karina Barquet is a Senior Research Fellow with the Governance and Institutions Unit at SEI Headquarters. Her research focuses on the political dimensions of coastal governance, including disaster risk reduction, water security, and source to sea. Karina joined SEI in 2015.

In her work she has explored the linkages between global agendas like Agenda 2030, regional policy, local implementation, and social acceptance of nature-based solutions to hydrometeorological hazards in Europe and Latin America. More recently, Karina’s work has explored the policy and market barriers and opportunities of circular innovations to reduce eutrophication in water and oceans in the Baltic Sea.

Karina is leading SEI’s strategic policy engagement of oceans. She has been project coordinator of BONUS RETURN, and HydroHazards and has been involved in a number of large European H2020 projects like RECONECT, COASTAL, RISC-KIT, and EDUCEN.

In her previous research, Karina assessed the peacebuilding potential of transboundary conservation with a focus on the geopolitical and security dimensions of water governance in Central America.

Karina has a PhD in Human Geography from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, a Master’s degree in Development Studies from Lund University, and a Bachelor in Peace and Conflict Studies from Malmö University.
