Manuela Di Mauro is an expert on climate and infrastructure in the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), leading research on adaptation and resilience. Her career includes roles in UK national efforts on infrastructure and climate, in the United Nations on disaster risk, and in Asia on urban contexts.

A professor at Eduardo Mondlane University, Genito’s research covers effective responses to heatwaves, the impacts of warming in southern Africa, and forecasting outbreaks of climate-sensitive diseases. His current work enhances resilience to extreme events (such as cyclones, droughts and floods) and the robustness of climate information for decisions (under WCRP).

Anne is an engineer and postdoctoral fellow examining the consequences of extreme events as experienced by marginalized people. She is part of the PALM TREES consortia across six African countries, and contributes to collaboration across CLARE. Her research experience spans air quality in poor neighbourhoods, impact of aerosols at high altitude, and effect of heat on cassava and amaranth.

Chandni works at the interface of climate and development covering differential vulnerability and wellbeing, livelihoods transitions, and rural-urban migration. Her work examines human dimensions of environmental change, pathways for transformational change, and levers for equitable adaptation. She is author on the IPCC special report on cities, and contributed to the sixth assessment.
