Paul O'hare
- Lecturer in Human Geography and Urban Development, Manchester Metropolitan University
I am a human geographer with a particular interest in flooding, climate adaptation and community resilience. My research examines how people live with environmental risks and how policy and practice can better support communities facing an uncertain climate future. At Manchester Metropolitan University, I combine research, teaching and public engagement, working with local communities and decision-makers to help shape fairer and more effective responses to environmental change.
