Biography

Simron Singh is a Professor and University Research Chair at the University of Waterloo, specializing in socio-metabolic research with a focus on small island economies. His work evaluates how these economies utilize materials, energy, and water, investigating consumption patterns that accumulate 'socio-metabolic risk' over time and increase susceptibility to the challenges posed by climate change. He further analyzes pathways for transitioning island economies towards sustainable and circular resource-use models to bolster overall resilience against climate change impacts. Simron leads the research program 'Metabolism of Islands' and has established partnerships across Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Asia-Pacific island nations. He is the Executive Secretary of the International Society for Industrial Ecology (ISIE) and co-chairs the global research action network Risk-KAN, which is connected to Future Earth and related climate research programs.
