I’m Dhita Mutiara Nabella, a PhD candidate, sustainability practitioner, and founder of two communities close to my heart. Here’s a closer look at the different sides of what I do.
I’m currently a PhD student in Sustainable Resources at University College London (UCL), based at the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources (BSEER). My research examines environmental governance, ecological limits, and future pathways in the development of Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN), Indonesia’s new capital city.
Before starting my PhD, I completed an MSc in Environment and Sustainable Development at UCL’s Development Planning Unit, and a BSc in Biology at Universitas Indonesia.
