ABOUT RAHUL SHAH
Hi, I’m Rahul, passionate about developing nature-positive solutions that connect forest conservation, agriculture, and communities. I have worked across more than fifteen African countries addressing challenges related to climate change, food security, and energy poverty, with experience spanning carbon markets, sustainability finance, NGO fundraising, and strategic communications. I am currently at Yale, focusing on tropical forest conservation, agricultural value chains, and climate finance to design interventions that deliver measurable impact for farmers, ecosystems, and biodiversity across the Global South. I believe in reimagining food systems, restoring ecosystems, and advancing climate action through collaboration, innovation, and evidence-based solutions.
