Amir Jina

Amir Jina is a first-year student in the PhD program in Sustainable Development. His main research interests lie in community-based climate change adaptation and community development. Prior to joining the program, Amir completed an MA in Climate and Society from Columbia University during which, among other things, he had the opportunity to travel to India and Bangladesh to aid the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in South Asia in implementing climate change adaptation projects. He hopes to continue this relationship with the Red Cross as his studies progress.
