Valeria is a PhD candidate at Utrecht University who has been working within the Pathways2Resilience Horizon2020 EU project. Her research concerns adaptation pathways, and particularly the role of opportunities for climate adaptation for supporting transformative forms of adaptation.

Bio Shari is a coastal adaptation scientist supporting hapū/iwi in adaptation planning, and supporting clients to bring a holistic lens to projects that considers Māori values and processes.

Marjolijn Haasnoot is a professor of climate adaptation in deltas and coasts. Her work focuses on the physical solution space and pathways to adaptation, and monitoring for signal detection. Haasnoot is a lead author of IPCC AR6 and a member of the Scientific Climate Council of the Netherlands.

Rick has a background in coastal infrastructure planning and design, with a focus on adaptive climate change adaptation. His work covers both academic projects and consultancy work, particularly in coastal zone planning using dynamic adaptation and flood management schemes, often with an emphasis on nature-based solutions.

Judy’s research focuses on science to practice, climate adaptation, risk management, sea-level rise, coastal and flood management. She developed the practice community in NZ for Dynamic Adaptive Pathways Planning (DAPP) and related decision-making guidance. She works with global partners, is an IPCC lead author and a NZ Climate Change Commissioner.

Lisa is a strategic thinker practiced in policy analysis, development, environmental planning and provision of advice, focused on climate adaptation/planning/risk management interface.

Julius is a PhD Candidate at the VU Amsterdam in the Netherlands who’s been working on extending the DAPP methodology to be applicable in complex systems of multi-risk, where interactions between and across hazards and sectors raises the potential of synergies and trade-offs across pathways and objectives.

Russ has 20 years’ experience leading applied R&D programmes in Australia and South Africa. His work focuses on: understanding the social-ecological and political-economy dimensions of climate adaptation; enhancing sense- and decision-making approaches to better consider uncertainty and ambiguity in knowledge; exploring innovative ways to increase investment into climate resilient development.
