“The Power and Politics of Transformational Adaptation in International Climate Finance”

International climate finance is an integral part of the global climate policy regime, and many of the major climate funds are increasingly articulating their goals as catalyzing transformational adaptation.

She takes a mixed methods approach, with an emphasis on qualitative data collection, and has conducted research projects in Central Appalachia and Southern Africa.
