AR. ANIL M PAI
I trained as an architect and a designer. When it comes to design, I have always believed that simplicity is the best form of sophistication and is often hard to achieve. I see and create spaces that are thoughtful and distinctively simple to inhabit !
My current research areas include environment management and sustaianalbe development. I have worked extensively in the field of Climate Change vulnerability with various approaches to vulnerability assessment and adaptation practices. I specialize in social , economic and ecological vulnerability of water resources and management w.r.t climate change. I have also worked extensively in the field of climate governance in capacity building, empowerment and communication for effective climate change adaptation of water resources at the state level
