Rohini Kamal, PhD, is a Research Fellow at BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD), Brac University. An Assistant Professor for the Master of Development programme at BIGD, she also leads the institute’s environment and climate change research.
Her last appointment was as a research fellow in the Global Development Policy Center at Boston University where she investigated the environmental and distributional impacts of energy financing made by Chinese and other key regional/global banks, and development institutions. Prior to her doctoral studies, Dr Kamal worked at Urban Climate Change Research Network, a project under NASA/GISS and the Earth Institute, on using climate information for urban policy as part of her master’s degree at Columbia University. Some of her work includes using macroeconomic models to estimate employment and environmental interdependencies between different sectors of the economy. She also uses field experiments, including randomized controlled trials, to assess more localised and household-level impacts of programmatic, policy, and information interventions in the field of climate change.
Dr Kamal earned her PhD in Economics from the University of Massachusetts, USA, and completed her Master’s in Climate and Society from Columbia University.

As the world increasingly faces rising disasters, crises and conflict, insights from Bangladesh share how the most vulnerable communities can build resilience, and how supporting people to form the right networks is a more powerful investment than we may realise.
This Earth Day begins with the largest study on perceived climate risks ever conducted in Bangladesh. Commemorating Hugh Brammer’s work in Bangladesh, findings from the study drive home the need for ground-up, evidence-based experience to inform climate policy.
