Rasmus Heltberg
Rasmus is a development economist with a passion for poverty and natural resources and how they interface. He has published extensively in academic journals on poverty, forestry, social protection, and climate adaptation and has worked in many countries including Pakistan, Mozambique, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, China, Maldives, Armenia, and Tajikistan. Rasmus currently works in the World Bank’s Social Development department based in Washington, where, among other things, he administers the Trust Fund for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development—the premier WB trust fund covering the poverty-social-environment nexus and supported by Norway and Finland.

This is his first time blogging and he is excited to explore with his readers on how to bring about pro-poor adaptation.
