About Us

Professor Edris Alam has over 22 years of teaching experience in public universities in the UK, Australia, Bangladesh and United Arab Emirates (UAE). Prof. Edris Alam’s research interests include climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction (DRR), sustainability science, business continuity management, public health emergency and integrated emergency management for resilience. Dr Alam has earned his PhD in Disaster Risk Reduction from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. Dr Alam both studied and worked in Bangladesh, Australia and the United Kingdom. In the past, Dr Alam worked for the national governments, NGOs, and United Nations in different capacities. He has published over 100 research articles on climate change, disaster risk management, public health emergency, business continuity and sustainability science in the major international journals. Dr Alam succeeded securing research funding from Governmental Organizations (GOs), NGOs, INGOs, UNDP, DFID and universities. Whilst working as a lead international consultant on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction cluster of different UN agencies, Prof Alam identified appalling strategic gap in program document development and implementation of agendas on climate change, disaster risk reduction and sustainable development. Advocating for the mainstreaming of environment, climate change, development interventions and disaster risk reduction consideration throughout all sectors is the utmost thrust of his work.
