adaptabiity and risk for the 21st century

Published by Sage and the International Development Research Centre, this guidebook outlines seven essential tools for creating adaptive policies. I served as lead editor and co-author of the book while working at the International Institute for Sustainable Development. Click below to access the e-book and click here to view a 2018 webinar.

I specialize in climate change adaptation, including scenario planning, risk assessment, and adaptive management. I've led scenario planning exercises for climate change vulnerability and risk analysis in the energy, agriculture and transportation sectors. 

I'm a certified Infrastructure Resilience Professional (IRP) and trained in the use of the PIEVC Engineering Protocol for assessing the vulnerability of infrastructure to extreme weather events and climate change. 

I have used participatory foresight and scenario planning methods to help governments, businesses and community organizations engage internal and external stakeholders on complex and critically important issues for sustainable development and corporate social responsibility 

I've provided strategic support for disaster risk reduction at global and local levels, including supporting the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and the International Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Federation (ICMIF).
