Aysha Jennath is a climate mobility researcher with a background in urban planning and architecture. Her research interest lies at the intersection of climate change and human adaptive behaviour. She has also conducted extensive work on climate change projections for coastal areas, assessing the impact on both mainland and island communities in India. Her research aims to bridge the gap between climate change research and the planning for the affected areas. She is also keen on exploring the policy implications for climate change adaptation.
