## Education[edit]

Dinesh studied commerce at Madras Christian College and Business Administration at PSG Institute of Management. He further studied Carbon Management at the University of Edinburgh and completed his Ph.D. at Utrecht University.[2]

## Career[edit]

Dinesh's research has focused on how to improve efforts to link science to policy processes, particularly on climate change and food systems issues. He developed science-policy engagement as a distinct area of scholarly research in this area and has identified success factors, fail factors, lessons to institutionalise efforts, and changes needed at the systemic scale.[3] He has also published papers on other issues on climate change and food systems.[4][5]

### Work and Clim-Eat[edit]

Following a career in the private sector, NGOs, UN, and CGIAR, Dinesh started Clim-Eat as he felt that efforts within conventional organisations are not sufficient to tackle climate change. He has referred to Clim-Eat being an organisation designed to fail by taking risks that other organisations do not take.[6][7] Following its launch, Clim-Eat focused on generating evidence on key topics like the costs of transforming food systems, urban agriculture, and mechanisms to finance climate action. Clim-Eat also played a role at COP27, advising the Egyptian Presidency on food and agriculture issues and convening the first-ever Food Systems Pavilion.[8] It also advised the COP26 and G7 Presidencies on key initiatives related to climate change and food systems.[9][10]
