I am humbled and beyond grateful to embark on my PhD in Environmental Policy at Princeton University, evaluating the role of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation, co-advised by Professor Michael Oppenheimer and Professor Eric Tate. It is a journey of acquiring both theoretical and practical knowledge to address the significant financial and tecnological gaps for adaptation in vulnerable communities. I am also eager to meet many like-minded collaborators at the upcoming New York Climate Week. Here’s to collectively pushing for paradigm shifts through climate research, advocacy and entrepreneurship!
