    • SEI — Stockholm Environment Institute

      Feb 2015 - Jun 2015
      Research Internship

      Project focused, research internship working with Dr. Harro van Asslet, and the SEI Oxford staff. The majority of my work was carried out in the context of a NORD-STAR (Nordic Strategic Adaptation Research) project. This research project aimed to study mainstreaming efforts in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in order to examine the extent to which climate change considerations are being taken into account in the provision of development assistance.In addition to working on the NORD-STAR project, I contributed to a project concerned with mapping and assessing climate change mitigation policy. For this project, I examined a set of data sources with information about climate change mitigation policy which was used for assessing the current state of mitigation policies.I also worked on the weADAPT project which is an adaptation knowledge brokering platform the SEI Oxford staff has developed over the last seven years. I contributed in the knowledge management of the platform, performing tasks such as editing, structuring and uploading content. Show less
