Eliisa Carter

I am a post-Master’s research associate focused on climate change adaptation in the context of natural resource management in the United States. My work at the Public Lands Policy Group at Colorado State University centers around understanding adaptation conceptualizations and actions and the different types of human-environmental relationships that promote or hinder societal and environmental resilience.

Before coming to CSU, I was a consultant within the Adaptation Division at UN Climate Change, investigating climate communication efforts and helping develop technical and information papers on adaptation at global and national levels. In 2019, I received my M.S. in Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation from Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering. My B.A., received in 2016, is in International Studies, with concentrations in global environmental politics and development, from American University’s School of International Service.
