About Drought Diaries

Making sense of climate change and sustainability.

Climate change and sustainability can feel overwhelming—and too often the conversation is reduced to alarming headlines, political arguments, or complicated jargon.

Drought Diaries takes a different approach.

We explore the climate and sustainability issues that affect our everyday lives—from the food we waste and the energy we use to the products we buy, the businesses we depend on, and the communities we live in.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s understanding.

Drought Diaries explains what is happening, why it matters, and what practical solutions are available.

Climate. Energy. Food. Business. Sustainability. Solutions.

Clear ideas for a changing world.

I would then have a short “About the editor” section underneath where you introduce yourself.

About the Editor

Farhad Malekafzali, Ph.D. is a professor of business at the University of Oregon, where he teaches courses exploring business, law, ethics, sustainability, and the relationship between business and society.

His interest in sustainability extends beyond the question of how individual companies can reduce their environmental impacts. He is particularly interested in the larger systems that shape our environmental future—and in how businesses, governments, and the public can work together to address challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, inequality, and environmental degradation.

Through Drought Diaries, Farhad writes about the ways climate change and sustainability affect our everyday lives, our communities, and the choices we make about the future. The publication also examines the responsibilities of business and the possibility of building a more sustainable and resilient society.

The goal is not to offer easy answers or demand perfection from individuals. It is to encourage thoughtful discussion about the changes—large and small—that can help create a more sustainable future.
