Dr. Naomi Sunu is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow engaged with the ‘Remitting for Resilience (R2) Project: Enhancing Food Security and Climate Adaptation Through Gender-Inclusive Migrant Remittances’. She has extensive field experience working with the University of Ghana on funded projects related to household lived poverty, food security, public health, environment, and climate-related impacts. She has also been involved in research addressing food security in Mozambique, and sustainable development goal implementation in Canada. Naomi’s research focuses on understanding differential vulnerability to climate-related impacts, identifying leverage points for mitigating the impacts and building resilience in support of sustainable development. Her postdoctoral research will examine food security and adaptations for climate resilience among migrant groups from Ghana, Mozambique, and Malawi.
