As Former Chair of Future Coasts (formerly Land Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone; LOICZ) from 2011 to 2015, he implemented the LOICZ Nutrient Budget for major estuaries on the east and west coast of India among several other studies globally. For the past decade, Ramesh Ramachandran has been involved in coupled land-ocean interface studies, its management, to aid policy decisions of the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change. As the Founder Director of the National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management of the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, several trans-disciplinary research studies spanning coastal vulnerability, socio-economic development, coastal/ marine conservation, spatial planning, land-based pollution, island management, integrated coastal zone management and climate change are being undertaken under his leadership. Currently he is chairing the steering committee of Global Partnership on Nutrient Management (GPNM)-UNEP. Dr. Ramesh coordinated with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, New Delhi and Ministry of External Affairs, Nairobi in the negotiations leading to the UNEA-4 Resolution on “Sustainable Nitrogen Management”, led for the first time by India, in the United Nations. Currently, he serves as the National Focal Point and Member Secretary of the National Working Group on Sustainable Nitrogen Management.
