His research interests include but are not limited to climate change, air pollution, women and child health, undernutrition, and reproductive health. Ishwar’s doctoral research will involve investigating the relationship between health risks in women and children and climate change and explore vulnerability, impacts, and resilience to climate change in Nepal through a mixed method approach. His project aims to generate critical evidence to help prioritize and address the health needs and concerns of women and children in Nepal. Also, findings from his study will support new and ongoing government strategies to mitigate climate change risks.
