IAIA 24 Acceptance
A bit late to announce, but I made it to my fourth IAIA conference submission acceptance in a row, on a panel on just transition. Not a lot of people know but I am an experienced environmental engineer with 15 years plus of ESIA report and field work knowledge. Recently I have seen my intellectual, professional and activist worlds of knowledge converge in the conversation on just transition through ESG risk from a ground up lens.

Terima Kasih Banyak, Pak Isa Kamari for the gift of knowledge.
Pak Isa Kamari is an iconic Singaporean writer and fellow PhD candidate at University of Malaya. A prized autographed book for my library.
