Daniel Rosenbloom

Assistant Professor and Rosamond Ivey Research Chair in Sustainability Transitions, Carleton University
Daniel Rosenbloom’s research program focuses on realizing transition pathways to more sustainable futures. Over the past decade, he has published widely on the policy and political dimensions of transitions to low-carbon and net-zero emissions energy systems. Currently, he is particularly interested in studying and identifying ways to overcome political resistance to net-zero transitions, tracing the evolution of electrification strategies and processes, and developing decision support frameworks that bring near-term choices into dialogue with long-term net-zero outcomes. In conjunction with his ongoing research, Daniel is seeking to deepen linkages among the Canadian community of scholars studying sustainability transitions with the aim of advancing transitions research and practice domestically.

Daniel is also active within the broader international transition community, where he is an elected member of the Steering Group for the Sustainability Transitions Research Network (STRN). His work with the STRN seeks to strengthen connections between Canadian and international transition communities as well as enhance efforts to mobilize insights from transition research for policy and practice.

Prior to joining the School of Public Policy and Administration, Daniel held policy leadership roles at Environment and Climate Change Canada. In this capacity, he contributed to a number of climate and clean technology files, translating sustainability transition insights for policy impact.
