Profile Summary

Francois Jost, PhD (in Environmental Sciences at the TU Dresden University in Germany) is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School for Environment and Sustainability at Royal Roads University. He is responsible for quantitative and qualitative data interpretation and analysis from a five-year community climate action research project (MC3). He has conducted trans-disciplinary analyses using participatory action research with rural communities to identify sustainable adaptation and mitigation strategies available to them. In his past research, François has developed vulnerability indices and an optimization model that maximizes the efficiency of resource allocation to identify opportunities to enhance sustainably the livelihood assets of rural communities.
