Adriana Molina-Garzón is an assistant professor at the Paul H. O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs in Indianapolis. Her primary research interest is focused on understanding the conditions that hinder or promote sustainable development in rural areas, focusing on the role of nongovernmental agents in this process, including community-based arrangements, the role of NGOs and collaborations between these agents. Most of her work concentrates on climate change and environmental issues as a core area that affects vulnerable communities in rural areas and presents governance challenges at different scales, including international, national, subnational, and local levels. Her work concentrates on developing countries including several policies and programs in Central and South America, as well as Africa.
