Peter Msumali Rogers

A natural resources and climate change specialist with extensive experience in interdisciplinary research, stakeholder engagement, and policy development. Skilled in climate change financing, biodiversity conservation, and ecological assessments, with a strong record of peer-reviewed publications and international presentations. Adept at building partnerships with NGOs, government agencies, and local communities to implement sustainable conservation practices.

My recent research focuses on how finance for climate adaptation is allocated in developing countries, using the existing institutional architectures and mechanisms to strengthen climate governance. I contribute to improving policy recommendations and ensuring that climate finance reaches the most vulnerable communities. My work bridges research and policy, supporting evidence-based decision-making for sustainable climate adaptation strategies.
