Master's In Environmental Science Global Change And Sustainability
University Of Ca Foscari Venice
I hold a background in Environmental Science and am currently pursuing a master's in Environmental Science, Global Change, and Sustainability. I’ve worked as an Environment and Climate Change Specialist in a project titled "Resilience and Recovery Interventions for climate affected communities" funded by World Food Programme, where I led climate risk assessments and developed community-level adaptation plans for flood-affected areas. This hands-on experience showed me how urgently we need scalable, science-based climate solutions—especially in vulnerable regions.My academic journey has strengthened my understanding of global sustainability frameworks and policy integration. Recently, I participated in a workshop titled “Venice Reborn,” which focused on sea-level rise and urban adaptation. It highlighted how science, infrastructure, and community engagement must work together to protect climate-threatened cities.My interest lies in equitable energy transitions and building resilience through policy and innovation. I am particularly motivated by Sustainability Global’s commitment to decarbonization, climate justice, and inclusive frameworks. It offers an opportunity to contribute to these goals by combining my field knowledge with academic training. I’m excited to engage with experts, support impactful projects, and play a meaningful role in driving climate action that is both just and effective.
I want to join Sustainability Global as a Pillar Fellow for Climate Action and Renewable Energy because the mission of this Pillar aligns directly with my academic focus and real-world experience. I’ve worked at the intersection of climate vulnerability, adaptation, and community engagement, and I’m eager to support science-based strategies that lead to lasting, inclusive change.My professional background includes working as an Environment and Climate Change Specialist in Pakistan, where I assessed climate risks in flood-affected areas and developed localized adaptation plans. That experience taught me that climate policy must be both grounded in science and responsive to social realities. It also deepened my interest in energy justice and the role of renewable energy in strengthening climate resilience.Through my ongoing studies in global change and sustainability, I’ve explored international frameworks for climate action, including the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals. I’ve also taken part in workshops like “Venice Reborn,” which focused on strategies to protect coastal cities from sea-level rise. That experience helped me understand the urgent need for adaptive infrastructure and interdisciplinary collaboration. It confirmed my belief that climate solutions must go beyond technical fixes—they need to include people, policy, and place-based thinking.Pillar 2’s emphasis on decarbonization, renewable energy, and a just transition reflects the priorities I care most about. I am especially drawn to the idea of supporting communities and workers affected by the shift from fossil fuels. The transition to net-zero must not leave anyone behind. I’m motivated by the opportunity to contribute to frameworks that make clean energy accessible, fair, and integrated into broader resilience planning.What sets Sustainability Global apart is its focus on real implementation. It’s not only about dialogue and research—it’s about turning knowledge into action. I want to be part of that process. Whether it’s contributing to climate policy analysis, helping design inclusive adaptation strategies, or supporting renewable energy initiatives in vulnerable regions, I am ready to engage, learn, and contribute.I also bring a perspective shaped by experience in the Global South, where climate challenges are immediate and severe. This allows me to approach climate action with sensitivity to inequality and a deep appreciation for locally driven solutions. I believe this lens can complement the work of Pillar 2 by ensuring strategies remain people-centered and adaptable to diverse contexts.Joining Sustainability Global would allow me to grow as a practitioner while contributing to ambitious climate goals. I’m excited by the possibility of collaborating with experts who are shaping the path to net-zero and climate-resilient futures. As a Pillar Fellow, I hope to support impactful projects and help deliver solutions that are scalable, just, and grounded in reality.
