Summary
Bramka Jafino is a disaster risk management specialist and quantitative modeler with nine years’ experience applying simulation and multi-method modeling to climate adaptation, mitigation, and transport resilience. Currently at the World Bank’s Urban, Resilience, and Land Practice for South Asia, he brings hands-on experience from GFDRR, Deltares, and a PhD focused on inclusive, equitable adaptation planning for the Mekong Delta. He combines economics of disasters, large-scale stress-testing, and decision-support tools to translate deep-uncertainty analysis into policy-relevant insights for poverty and infrastructure risk. A contributing author to IPCC AR6 and a former lead analyst on climate–poverty projections for the World Bank, he blends rigorous academic research with operational program design. Based in Delft and with roots in Indonesia, he is unusually fluent at bridging technical simulation work and practical governance needs to advance equitable climate resilience.
