Pradyumna J.B. Rana
How do you protect the pulse of the planet?
I protect the pulse of the planet by influencing policies and people’s behaviour through my work. At a personal level, I am trying to follow a minimalistic lifestyle – using greener means of transportation and local produce.
What is your favorite part of the work you do at ICIMOD?
The multidisciplinary and multicultural work environment is something I really like at ICIMOD. Additionally, field travel for research to very distant and remote areas in the mountains is something I really enjoy and find exciting.
What are you passionate about?
I love food, music, and the outdoors, which includes a lot of travelling, team sports and the environment.
My qualifications
I have a postgraduate degree in environment, development and policy from the University of Sussex, UK and an undergraduate degree in development studies from Kathmandu University, Nepal.
