VIRTUAL GUEST LECTURE SERIES: Equitable Resilience: Essential Lessons from Puerto Rico

October 14, 2020

Ramón Bueno’s work focuses on how different dimensions of resilience and vulnerabilities interact with equity and technology in development. Ramón was born in Cuba then later grew up in Puerto Rico. He studied aerospace engineering and a master’s degree in systems modeling and optimization at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and worked for many years in a broad range of decision support and business intelligence applications. His work since 2007 has explored the relationship and policy implications between economic and energy development, climate change and its impacts in a world highly uneven among countries and regions, with the Climate Economics Group at Tufts University’ Global Development And Environment Institute (GDAE) and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), and independently. His interests in the Caribbean region extended to his climate-related work, starting in 2008 with colleagues in “The Caribbean and Climate Change: The Costs of Inaction.” He has participated in presentations, dialogues and lectures in Puerto Rico, at universities and with the Puerto Rico Climate Change Council and the Center for Investigative Journalism. Following the devastation by the 2017 hurricanes, he has been engaged in dialogues fostering connections and collaborations between colleagues in the Island and universities andprofessionals in the Boston area (ResilientSEE-PR, The RISE Network).
