About Sindra

Sindra has an academic background in economics and cognitive neuropsychology.

Her PhD research looked at the design of incentives for the uptake of climate change adaptive and conservation behaviours in small farmers in Small Island States.

During and after her studies, she has held climate-related roles in academia, policy think-tanks, trade and international development consultancies providing analysis and advice mainly for vulnerable and Small Island Developing States.

She was an Advisor to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP23) Presidency Chief Negotiator, Ambassador Nazhat Khan, with whom she was able to deepen her knowledge and application of the human rights based approach to climate justice.

She is a proud Fijian, a Fellow of the Linnaean Society, and in her spare time she is trying to understand her dog, life and the Universe generally.
