Cristina Alonso

I am a graduate Social Anthropologist by Goldsmiths College, London, with a Masters Degree in International Development Studies by Universiteit van Amsterdam in Holland. My interests brought me to El Salvador, where I have been now for a year and half researching for CESTA-Friends of the Earth El Salvador on vulnerabilities and capacities to climate change of communities at risk. My focus is on participatory research with a multidisciplinary approach, and my major interests are community-based adaptation, local knowledge/capacity building and disaster risk reduction initiatives at the community level, besides the implications of political/social factors at the municipal/national level for succesful implementation of adaptation/DRR strategies in communities under study.
