Seongmin Shin

About

Seongmin Shin is deeply committed to environmental sustainability, with a focus on Climate Change, the Carbon Market, Agroforestry, REDD+, Food Security, and International Development. He completed his master's degree in International Agricultural Technology and Regional Studies and Spatial Analytics from Seoul National University (SNU). His professional at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Indonesia was marked by significant research in climate-smart agroforestry systems, studying their environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Serving as a Forest Restoration Officer at the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) in Ethiopia, Shin's work involved monitoring socio-economic and ecological conditions in the project sites.

Currently, in his Ph.D. journey in Global Development at Cornell University, Seongmin's research is geared towards addressing the complex challenges of climate change and improving carbon market access for smallholder farmers in Africa by quantitative and qualitative approaches, enhanced by spatial analysis.
