Short CV

Dr Sean Goodwin is a multidisciplinary researcher with a present research focus on urban climate change adaptation, nature-based solutions, and monitoring and evaluation. His research addresses pressing questions facing communities of research and practice at the intersection of climate change, biodiversity conservation, urban planning and social justice, such as, what does it mean to adapt to climate change “with nature” in cities and how will we know when we are adapting? His work with IMAGINE Adaptation focuses on answering these questions in relation to urban climate change adaptation, where the project has an explicit transdisciplinary focus in working with local actors in cities to improve the way they monitor, evaluate, and learn from their adaptation efforts to advance successful adaptation.
