      Michael Boyland was a Research Fellow at SEI Asia working on climate change, disasters and development. Michael led the International Centre of Excellence on Transforming Development and Disaster Risk, awarded by the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) programme and hosted by SEI.

      Michael worked to better understand the connections between disaster risk, climate change and development, and how societies can enact transformations for more equitable, resilient and sustainable development. His work also focused on the gender and social equity dimensions of risk and resilience, for example through understanding how women, children and ethnic minorities are particularly at risk to climate change and disasters. Michael researched these issues across Southeast Asia, with a focus on the Philippines, Thailand and Myanmar.
