My broad research interests revolve around climate change vulnerability and adaptation. I have a particular interest in comprehending how climate change affects individuals and communities in different ways, both socially and politically. I want to explore the ways different communities’ contexts add to the interaction between adaptation and resilience initiatives, and look into the understanding of “inclusive” policy processes regarding the unequal distribution of climate impacts necessary to inform policy responses. Further, I also want to understand how climate impacts, inequalities, and just transitions can be addressed together in the changing climate context. Understanding pathways toward a just and sustainable transformation within our societies is a topic I look forward to exploring.

My previous research works span across understanding how climate governance probs the links between social inequalities, conflict, gender, and their effects on sustainable and resilient climate development pathways. I have a Master's degree in environment management and an undergraduate degree in forestry.
