Short presentation
Sara Lindersson conducts international studies within disaster research, with a particular focus on how different groups are affected by climate extremes.
Sara's primary affiliations are with CNDS and climes, both housed within the Department of Earth Sciences. She is also active in a research project about climate-resilient development the Department of Government.

Research
Sara's research focuses on three interconnected areas:
- Analysing and improving international disaster impact databases of past events.
- Investigating how socioeconomic inequalities shape humanitarian consequences from climate extremes.
- Assessing if, and under what conditions, disasters tend to catalyse more climate-resilient development.
