Carmen Valdez Rojas
I am a biologist interested in understanding and addressing socio-environmental challenges through an interdisciplinary lens. I have experience working with broad theoretical frameworks to analyze socio-ecological resilience in fishing communities.
My research interests include climate change, social and ecological adaptation, climate justice, and sustainability of food systems.
I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Ecosystem Management in Arid Regions at the Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. My research aims to deepen the understanding of how coastal-dependent communities respond and adapt to climate change. Specifically, I am developing a theoretical framework to assess the adaptive and transformative capacities of a community on the Pacific coast of Baja California in response to climate-related impacts in the region.
