“Being a part of HUC as an instructor, collaborator, and team lead on the Climate Risk TWG in Pakistan has been a great experience. The network provides excellent opportunities in research and training to young, early-career researchers, especially women scholars, to engage in evidence-based research on environmental issues in Asia. Given the escalating climate change threats in the region, the network is doing a great job in connecting scientists, strengthening collaborations, and promoting indigenous knowledge.”
