Nico Dominguez Carrero

Nico Dominguez Carrero is an undergraduate researcher at Harvard College, majoring in Environmental Science and Public Policy with a secondary in Global Health and Health Policy, focusing on the intersections between climate change, health equity, and human rights. For his senior thesis, Nico is conducting a mixed-methods assessment of climate-health resilience among fishers in Southwest Madagascar, funded by the Harvard Global Health Institute and the Center for African Studies. His work quantitatively explores socio-ecological factors that support food security and resilience to environmental shocks while qualitatively exploring community perspectives on resilience and policy solutions to degrading environmental and natural resource conditions. 
Outside of research, Nico is actively engaged in policy and advocacy, including as a student intern with the Dallas Office of Environmental Quality and Sustainability and a student coordinator for the Massachussetts Fairness for Farm Workers Coalition. Most recently, Nico interned at the Department of State within the Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy where he supported efforts on global climate and health financing.
