Mr. Birhanu Werku | Environmental Science | Editorial Board Member

Lecturer | Wollega University | Ethiopia

Birhanu Chalchisa Werku is a researcher focused on agricultural emissions, climate change, and sustainable development, particularly within the context of East Africa’s evolving environmental challenges. His work examines how agricultural activities—such as livestock production, fertilizer use, land conversion, and crop management—contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and influence climate mitigation strategies across the region.A core component of his research involves evaluating the alignment of agricultural practices with Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action). He analyses how emission trends affect national and regional climate policies, identifying gaps in adaptation and mitigation frameworks. His contributions highlight the urgent need for low-carbon farming strategies, improved emission monitoring, and policy integration that supports climate-resilient agriculture.Werku’s publications explore themes such as climate-smart agriculture, environmental sustainability, emission reduction technologies, and agricultural policy reform, providing evidence-based insights for governments, development partners, and environmental agencies. His work emphasizes the interconnectedness of climate action with food security, rural livelihoods, and ecosystem protection.Through interdisciplinary collaboration and region-focused analysis, Werku advances scientific understanding of how sustainable agricultural transformation can support climate resilience in East Africa. His research contributes to shaping environmentally responsible policies that balance agricultural productivity with long-term ecological sustainability.
