Research

Loss and damage related to climate change is my main focus of research. I am particularly interested in how we can address local-level loss and damage whilst simultaneously ensuring social justice. In answering this question, I work with intersectionality theory and focus on Suriname. In the past, my research focused on so-called ‘non-economic’ loss and damage, local values, and the framing of the often intangible and subjective impacts of climate change with Bangladesh as a case study.
