Haresh Bhojwani has been appointed to be the Deputy Director of the International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate and Society, part of Columbia University’s Earth Institute. He will coordinate IRI’s connections with development and humanitarian organisations so that IRI’s research can target the needs of those vulnerable to climate impacts, especially through collaborations.
“Haresh has helped IRI transform itself and has fostered strong relationships with development organisations,” said Lisa Goddard, IRI director.
“These relationships have positioned us to fulfil our mission to improve people’s lives and livelihoods in areas of the world plagued by recurring droughts, and floods and extreme weather.”
