HI-AWARE PhD positions at TERI University :
The HI-AWARE context : Future directions for Adaptation Research in the Glacier and Snowpack Dependent River Basins of the Himalaya.

The HImalayan Adaptation, WAter and REsilience (HI-AWARE) research on glacier and snowpack depending river basins for improving livelihoods is a new research programme developing robust evidence to inform policies and practices for enhancing the adaptive capacities and climate resilience of the poor and vulnerable people in the mountains and plains of the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region. It focusses on Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. The programme adopts a comparative and cross-scalar approach, with research and pilot adaptation intervention sites representing a range of climates, hydrological conditions and socioeconomic contexts. HI-AWARE will (i) generate scientific knowledge on climate change impacts, vulnerability drivers and adaptation policies and practices; (ii) systematically promote the uptake of knowledge and adaptation practices; and (iii) strengthen interdisciplinary expertise in climate change adaptation and resilience research. These outcomes will contribute to improved adaptation policies and practices.

The HI-AWARE team consists of 5 research institutes in Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and The Netherlands. It is one of the four consortia funded under the CARIAA research programme. As a PhD student you will also be part of the larger CARIAA community of practice on climate change adaptation in Africa and Asia. Read more
