Research Analyst, Precourt Institute for EnergyBioRwaida is a PhD student in Environment and Resources at Stanford’s School of Sustainability. Her research focuses on the international policy frameworks shaping climate adaptation and mobility, with an emphasis on environmental justice for displaced communities, rural populations, and women and girls. She examines how global institutions respond to climate vulnerability—and how they can be transformed to better support frontline communities.
Rwaida’s current work explores climate displacement and adaptation efforts across the Global South, with field research in Kenya and Central America. She is particularly focused on the lived experiences of refugees and migrants navigating environmental instability and structural inequities.
She brings over 15 years of experience in international development and humanitarian policy, including advisory roles with the World Bank Group and UNDP, and service in the Obama Administration, where she helped design the White House Power Africa Initiative. Currently, she supports adaptation finance research at Stanford's Sustainable Finance Institute as well as the Graduate School of Business's Ecopreneurship Program.
