    Biographical Statement

    Sara Sadri is a Senior Scientist at UNU-FLORES working primarily on advancing the Resource Nexus AID programme. She is a hydrologist in remote sensing and statistics; Sara focuses on water and food insecurity issues. Additionally, she works to find solutions to anthropogenic and climate change-induced drought within the water-energy-society nexus. Sara is passionate about the growing need to establish real-time online tools to support the achievement of the SDGs, especially in regions where the water security of communities is under threat. She aims to connect and collaborate with stakeholders, communities, and policymakers and utilise renewable energy approaches and affordable technologies to design and build case-based solutions to pressing environmental concerns.
