Paula Moehlenkamp

Paula Moehlenkamp is the Project Specialist with the Pacific RISA program in collaboration with the Local2030 Island Network. Paula received her Bachelor in Environmental Sciences (2015) from Jacobs University Bremen in Germany and her Master in Oceanography (2018) from the University of Hawai‘i. Her research focused on monitoring environmental variability and ecosystem health at a traditional Hawaiian fishpond and supported biocultural community restoration and resource management efforts in Heʻeia watershed, O‘ahu.

Paula does interdisciplinary and applied research working with Pacific Island communities to translate climate research into actionable resource management aiming to reduce climate-induced vulnerabilities. In her current position, Paula is working across the Pacific RISA and Local2030 Island Network teams to determine locally and culturally appropriate climate indicators and metrics that track progress towards the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Pacific Island Region. The project builds regional capacity in the ability to track biophysical and social indicators of climate change impacts, management responses, and adaptation goals in the framework of the Local2030 Island Network.
