Till a few years ago, people did not pay much heed to the issue of Climate Change, but some recent occurrences like the Polar Bear shooting in Iceland and flooding in Sahara Desert have raised an urgent alarm. To gather more information about the same, we spoke with Dr Sanju Purohit, a scholar and expert in Geology, Natural Resources and Climate Change. She spoke in detail about the recent incidences as well as issues such as the impact of migration & urbanization in the Indian context.
Here are the excerpts from the interview: 1. Kindly tell us about yourself. What difference do you intend to create with regard to climate change and natural resource conservation? My name is Dr Sanju Purohit and I volunteer and contribute as a researcher and Associate Professor (Volunteer position).
I am affiliated with Akamai University, in the USA. I also volunteer as a Research Fellow at Women Researcher Council, Azerbaijan State University of Economics (UNEC). I have more than 14 years of research background in resource management and urban planning while focusing on climate resilience issues and resource conservation strategies, especially in areas affected by water scarcity and land degradation.
In my studies of Rainwater Harvest and sustainable land management methods, I strive to offer suggestions for communities and governments to embrace amid climate challenges. I am dedicated to making an impact by ensuring that scientific studies shape policy choices and local grassroots efforts. .
