“There is a pattern (known/unknown) in the occurence of events”
As a Climate-Geographer, I explore ways to dig the past and understand the context specific climate risks and ways to manage the climate risks with the help of climate forecast information at various time scales.
As an International Civil Servant, I advocate for understanding and recognizing the inter-connectedness of managing short term and long term risk, among institutions and individuals to be able to adapt to climate change. I believe, science-based, evidence-based, and need-based policy making would greatly help government to develop and implement appropriate interventions to manage these risk. All my work in the past decade with various actors from government, non-government, inter-government, international, multilateral Banks, and UN agencies in more than 20 countries in Africa and Asia-Pacific region, revolves around understanding and adapting to risk, while developing and implementing disaster risk management and climate change adaptation related projects.
