Veronica Lo
I am an ecologist working on crossing disciplinary boundaries to affect policy change on climate change adaptation and conservation planning. I have a background in experimental salt marsh ecology and have also worked with NGOs and UN agencies on capacity-building initiatives and ecosystem-based climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
Forskning
I am a project manager and researcher for ENVISION (an inclusive approach to assessing integrative scenarios and visions for protected area management). My current research focus is comparing visions and adaptation pathways across scales in protected areas with novel participatory scenario planning methods.
