Our Research

Our research topics include climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, sustainable development, community-based management, and resource governance. 

We are especially interested in sustainability challenges facing coastal communities and settlements:

• Vulnerability, resilience, and adaptive capacities 

• Marginality

• Collaborative and participatory research and development

• Local and indigenous knowledge

• Community-based resource governance and management

• Payment for ecosystem services

We consider these as key to promote sustainable and equitable development in Southeast Asia, especially for those directly exposed to climate-related disasters and anthropogenic pressures on marine resources that they depend on for their livelihoods. Our research increases our understanding about these challenges.
