Tuning into the Forest: Stories of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) in Nature

Dr. Devyani Singh is a Post-Doctoral Fellow working on international Energy and Climate policy. Her inter-disciplinary research includes energy access & transitions in the Global South, air quality (GHG emissions accounting), evaluating climate impacts of national policies, natural resource economics, environmental finance, and oil and gas transitions. As a result, she has worked extensively across sectors (industry, academia, government, Indigenous communities, and non-profits) and countries (India, Canada, US). Outside of academia, Devyani has consulted on carbon markets and policy and worked with the First Nations on sustainable forestry.

Inspired by the magnitude and importance of global climate change, and frustrated with political inaction, Devyani ran as a political candidate in the 2020 BC elections. She actively promotes engagement with policy makers and the public for evidence-based decision-making.
