Humanitarian Advisory Group brings fresh thinking to challenge the status quo of humanitarian aid. As an ethically driven business, HAG combines humanitarian passion with entrepreneurial agility to think and do things differently. I provide research and technical support across numerous projects commissioned by donors, NGOs, UN agencies and research organisations, with a special focus on HAG’s climate and environment portfolio. I have a keen interest and specialist knowledge in climate and disaster resilience, climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies, localisation process, and humanitarian reform. Show less
