My PhD Project.

Quantifying the influence of climate change on the impacts caused by climate extremes (impact attribution) is an emerging research agenda with practical applications for climate litigation, the Loss and Damage (L&D) agenda and climate risk assessments to inform adaptation. Applicants in climate lawsuits rely on evidence that can link a defendant's misconduct to the impacts caused by climate change. In climate policy negotiations on the Loss and Damage Fund (L&D), a fund established to support developing nations dealing with the worst effects of climate change, understanding the cost of climate change could inform funding discussions. Right now, impacts-based event attribution is concentrated in the Global North, meaning there needs to be more understanding of the role of climate change on hazards experienced in the Global South. Climate risk assessments support adaptation planning by identifying which communities, sectors, and regions are affected by climate extremes. For each of these practical applications, there is growing recognition of the value of considering economic and non-economic transboundary impacts and borderless risks.

My PhD seeks to explore the use and potential of distributing impacts in supply chains for climate justice. I have found that in existing impact attribution literature assessing the proportion of damages due to anthropogenic climate change (ACC), scant research examines the distribution of attributable impacts on a global scale. The implications of this gap are interesting and what I seek to explore in how they can contribute to climate justice. Stay tuned for more.

Research interests

Other things I research.

For the past two years as a research assistant I've had the chance to grow my research skills and passion tackling a variety of complex research problems. But the thread that connects them all is climate change, sustainability and justice. I am deeply interested in understanding hidden impacts and (in)justices that occur in and across supply chains. Supply chains connect us all, so a lot of my research tackles untangling these complex interactions.

Article

Understanding climate risk externalities through the global supply chains: a framework and review of the literature on existing approaches

The literature on supply chain risks of climate change using quantitative techniques is limited. Our review confirms that no research adopts sustainability assessment methods to assess climate risk at a business-level.Read here!

Perspective

From mines to consumption via global supply chains: A viewpoint on assessing modern slavery and disease interactions

In this viewpoint, we highlight that modern slavery and disease risk interactions have not been explored in global supply chains and explore the value of multi-region input-output (MRIO) analysis in exploring these feedbacks. Read here!

Perspective

Toward an Emissions and Modern Slavery Impact Accounting Model

Inequality, modern slavery, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change are embroidered together in complex feedback loops. In this Viewpoint, we suggest that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and modern slavery are both underpinned by, and a result of, inequality and together have a profound effect on climate change.

Conference

Why aren't they listening to us? Exploring Marketing literature's (lack of) presence in the most influential summary of climate change science.

A content analysis of IPCC documents highlights a mismatch between the data present (emissions and environmental impacts) and research type (applied with sectoral focus) in the report, and that in marketing sustainability special issues and marketing scholarship. Read here!

Conference

Social and environmental impacts associated with fossil and mineral supply chains - a quantitative assessment of the EU’s international spillover effects.

We trace these environmen­tal and social impacts across the EU’s trading partners to identify sectors and regions as hotspots of international spillovers embodied in the EU’s consumer demand and find that these hotspots are wide-ranging in all continents. Read here!
