About
Maral Habibi is a forward-thinking researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of sustainable development, climate resilience, and disaster risk reduction. Her research focuses on how the global community can achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the face of increasingly volatile environmental threats. Her most cited paper, "SDG Final Decade of Action: Resilient Pathways to Build Back Better from High-Impact Low-Probability (HILP) Events" (2022, 17 citations), makes a compelling case for integrating preparedness for catastrophic, low-probability events—such as climate-induced extreme weather—into the SDG framework. Habibi argues that these "HILP" events can single-handedly derail decades of progress, and she proposes resilient pathways that allow societies to "build back better" rather than merely recover. This work is notable for bridging the gap between long-term development planning and short-term emergency management, offering actionable strategies for policymakers. By highlighting the fragility of the SDG timeline in the final decade of action, Habibi’s research serves as a vital call to rethink global resilience, ensuring that sustainable development is not undone by the very crises it seeks to mitigate.
