Dr. Pedi Obani is an expert in climate change governance, gender equality, and human rights related to water and sanitation. Her research focuses on bridging the gap between sustainability science, policy, and implementation to promote justice and inclusion at both global and local levels. In 2024, Dr. Obani was awarded a UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Future Leaders Fellowship for a four-year project aimed at developing frameworks for gender-inclusive climate change governance through collaborative approaches. This project seeks to address how climate change disproportionately impacts women and to create legal and political frameworks that amplify women’s agency in climate governance.
