Harshita Kumari is an early career professional based in New Delhi, India, where she works in public policy. Her focus areas include gender, climate change, clean energy transition, and disability. Her passion for these issues stems from her academic background in Gender and Development, which she pursued in her Master's program at IDS. Harshita aims to bridge her existing expertise with a more structured understanding of climate issues. In the Woylie cohort of the LFA Fellowship, Harshita connects with peers from around the globe, addressing the intersection of gender and climate. She seeks innovative approaches to learning and networking within the climate community while supporting others through policy analysis and strategic advice. Harshita's commitment to creating impactful policies highlights the importance of integrating various social dimensions into the climate conversation.
"What made the LFA Fellowship particularly meaningful for me was the constant interplay between theory and practice — learning the frameworks, but always being nudged to think about what they look like in the real world. Being part of a truly global cohort brought perspectives I simply wouldn’t have encountered otherwise, and the guest lectures added another layer of learning from people actually shaping the climate space. But perhaps what I valued most was the fellowship’s constant nudge to move from learning to doing. A huge shoutout to Tarah and the entire Terra.do team for creating a space that made that possible — thoughtful, challenging, and always pushing us to take the next step."
