*Valeria Zambianchi (she/her) works as postdoc at the Earth and Life Institute, UC Louvain (Belgium). Bringing together human geography and other social sciences, she is broadly interested in the social and institutional processes through which humans relate to rural environments and co-produce them as spaces, while contending with the climate and ecological crises. Currently, Valeria is studying how mountain landscapes are perceived, used, and governed for the renewable energy transition. She holds a joint PhD from KU Leuven and Utrecht University, during which she researched the history of policyscapes affecting climate change mitigation and the effects of policy interactions on the uptake of solar PV, offshore and offshore wind in the UK. Valeria has an interdisciplinary background across the social sciences and environmental studies (University of Pavia, University of Copenhagen, and Cambridge University). *Ana Buchadas, originally from Portugal, is a postdoctoral researcher at the Earth and Life Institute at UCLouvain, Belgium. She is a land system science researcher working on how land use, management, and governance contribute towards the goals of energy transition, conservation, and sustainable food systems.
