Research
I hold a PhD in Sustainability Science, specializing in climate impacts, adaptation, loss and damage, and pathways for just and equitable climate action. I am currently a Researcher affiliated with the Swedish Centre for Impacts of Climate Extremes (CLIMES), where my work focuses on Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe, including the French overseas territories and EU outermost regions. I adopt an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to research, working at the intersection of science, policy, and society. My aim is to generate knowledge together with those directly engaged in and affected by climate challenges to foster equitable and transformative action.
