      Albert is a Senior Research Fellow at the Stockholm Environment Institute’s Asia Centre where he leads its Climate Change, Disasters and Development cluster. Albert has over 15 years of experience working on climate change adaptation, natural resources management, conservation, development and sustainable livelihoods issues in several countries in Southeast Asia.

      His current research interests are on the themes of resilience, risk and vulnerabilities, traditional ecological knowledge, mobility and spatial linkages, disaster displacement, and sustainable livelihoods. He is a member of the UK GCRF Living Deltas Hub and the SEI Initiative on Integrated Climate and Development Planning. His recently co-edited volume entitled “Climate Change, Disasters, and Internal Displacement in Asia and the Pacifi c” was published by Routledge. He also had consulting assignments with the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network on climate smart land use.

      He previously led SEI’s global initiative on Transforming Development and Disaster Risk and contributed to the Climate Services Initiative through the School of Climate and Living Traditions. Other projects he managed include the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Platform (AKP) and the Partnership in Governance Transition: the Bali Cultural Landscape. Albert also contributes to weADAPT , an adaptation portal hosted by SEI. He has a PhD in Geography from Durham University (UK).
