Nick Evans is a Researcher at Ecologic Institute. His work focuses on the evaluation of European and international climate governance systems and their effect on and connection to national actions. Further research interests include behavioral economics, sustainable consumption behavior and the psychology of climate change communication. Additionally, he helps coordinate Ecologic Institute's efforts on transatlantic topics and serves as Ecologic Institute's liaison to the Konrad von Moltke fund. He is a native English speaker and also works in German.

At Ecologic Institute, Nick Evans works on a range of research projects, dealing with EU climate governance, long-term transitions to net-zero emissions and framework climate laws. He was lead author on a study commissioned by the European Environment Agency (EEA) that investigated the landscape of national climate change advisory bodies in Europe and served as input for a dialogue workshop for the representatives of such bodies from across the continent. In January 2020, he supported a research project funded by the European Climate Foundation (ECF) that systematically analyzed the climate laws in nine EU Member States. The resulting report, entitled "Climate Laws in Europe: Good Practices in Net-Zero Management," was widely disseminated and translated into multiple languages.

For the project, "Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of EU Member State Low Carbon Development Strategies (MaxiMiseR)", Nick helped develop an indicator-based webtool for the evaluation of EU Member States' long-term climate strategies. The tool was then used by the WWF European Policy Office (EPO) for a comprehensive report comparing long-term climate ambition in select countries. He is also involved with Ecologic Institute's educational programs and taught a seminar section on behavioral change and sustainable consumption for the Duke University (US) summer study abroad program.

In years prior, Nick Evans worked as an independent researcher for Ecologic Institute on numerous projects and was previously employed both as a Transatlantic Fellow supported by a German Academic Exchange Service grant (October 2014 to July 2015) and as a student intern (February 2013 to June 2013).
