Sergio Jarillo

I am a Social Anthropologist with more than 18 years of experience conducting in-depth field-based research on the human dimensions of climate change adaptation. I have carried out fieldwork in Papua New Guinea, Mozambique, the Marshall Islands, the Maldives and the Tiwi Islands (Australia), and published my research in top academic journals. My research is highly interdisciplinary and focuses on social and environmental change, the behavioural ecology of human emotions, sustainable development and pyscho-cultural indicators of well-being. I use mixed research methods and collaborative and participatory approaches to advance bottom-up framings of climate change adaptation that can benefit communities. These include Locally-led and community-based adaptation (LLA and CBA), Traditional Environmental Knowledge (TEK), Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and Ecosystems-based Adaptation (EbA).
