Professor Pradeep Nair

Personal statement:

My study focuses on advancing scientific understanding of climate change impacts, coastal ecosystems, sustainability science, and adaptation strategies through research and knowledge dissemination. I mainly work in close partnership with indigenous people, local communities, development agencies and practitioners for enhancing public knowledge about coastal sustainability, climate change, and ecosystem restoration through mitigation, adaptation, and nature-based solutions. My expertise in this area stems from my ability to work on the ground in meaningful ways with partners in government, industry, local communities and NGOs, to identify challenges, co-produce knowledge, empower marginalized groups, and increase transparency in decision-making and to connect that work

Key topic areas of research or interest:

Coastal sustainability, climate change and ecosystem restoration through mitigation, adaptation, and nature-based solutions
