Arina is an energy expert with 10 years of experience in developing global and regional analyses for the energy transition based on renewable energy.
Currently, she works as an analyst on renewable energy innovation at the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), an intergovernmental organization dedicated to energy transformation. In this role, Arina leads flagship innovation studies, which establish a comprehensive innovation framework to support policymakers advance the energy transition in their countries.
Arina is passionate about the intersection of energy transition and decolonization, and she cares deeply about achieving a just transition for every country and everyone.
Beyond being an engineer and energy expert, Arina is a yoga practitioner, animist, dreamer, deeply fascinated by Eastern wisdom traditions and endlessly curious about different worldviews. As a social and ecological justice advocate, she sees the same root feeding both the wounding of the Earth and the suppression of voices and rights of marginalized communities and women: a legacy of domination, disconnection, and control. She believe that to truly heal our world, we must nurture a new form of leadership – one that values care over control, collaboration over competition, and honors the sacred interconnectedness of all life.
