Victor Galaz is Associate Professor in Political science, Deputy director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, and Programme Director of the Beijer Institute’s Governance, Technology and Complexity programme. His research explores the political and governance challenges created by rapid global change in the Anthropocene, including globally networked risks, governance dimensions of “planetary boundaries,” the interplay between financial systems and Earth system dynamics, and the sustainability implications of novel technologies. Galaz’s work about societal challenges created by technological change includes governance dimensions of geo-engineering, early warning systems of epidemic outbreaks, uses of social media to detect ecological change, online mis- and disinformation on environmental issues, and sustainability risks embedded in early applications of artificial intelligence. He is also the author of Global Environmental Governance, Technology and Politics – The Anthropocene Gap (2014) where he explores the “Anthropocene Gap”—our society’s current failure to address the most profound environmental challenges of our times.
