My Climate Risk Interdisciplinary Learning Group – Jesse Schrage

Biography

I am a social scientist specialised on issues of urban climate governance and environmental policy. My research deals with decision-making concerning climate governance – generally with a focus on urban and regional planning, policy and politics. A recurrent question for me is how the social and political dimension of organisations and their actors meditates our responses to climate change. Currently, my research focuses on understanding how climate information can improve the resilience and adaptive capacities of local communities to a changing climate, mostly in East Africa.
