Research interests
I am interested in climate change adaptation and resilience. My work has produced impactful results in cities and businesses.
I specialise in:
- climate vulnerability where I have investigated the synergies between disaster risk reduction
- improvements in health and wellbeing
- the promotion of inclusive growth
My work in cities places particular attention to evidence-based collaborative urban strategic planning and city-to-city cooperation to create resilient cities and food systems; climate-compatible development and SDGs.
My other work strand is climate financing and assessing the economic costs of flooding on SMEs.
