ALINE MWINTOME NAAWA

I am a climate change and sustainability researcher with a PhD in Disaster Risk Management under WASCAL, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and with extensive experience in interdisciplinary research, transdisciplinary stakeholder engagement, and qualitative and spatial methods. My doctoral work investigated wildfire dynamics in Ghana’s northern savannahs using mixed-methods approaches, including remote sensing, GIS, interviews, and participatory mapping. I have a strong track record in team science, citizen engagement, and translating research into actionable strategies for resilience and biodiversity stewardship.
