Our research
Topics
Sustainable Transitions
to Net-zero & Beyond
Achieving net-zero emissions is imperative for mitigating climate change and ensuring a sustainable future. This goal requires a profound and rapid transformation of our economic, environmental, and technological systems.
Socio-Economic Assessment
of Climate Impacts & Adaptation
Understanding and quantifying the implications of changing climate and material conditions on the economy, society, and the environment, while assessing their future evolution to design successful adaptive responses.
Climate, Finance,
Macroeconomics & Trade
Investigating the role of climate change as one of the key drivers of macro-trends in the global financial, economic, and trade systems, and the interaction between them.
Environmental
& Social Justice
Addressing a range of environmental crises (pollution, climate change, the connected adaptation, mitigation, and transition strategies) requires inclusive approaches that ensure a fair and equitable transition in energy and material use.
Innovation
& Circularity
Innovation in technology and in economic and social systems is necessary to decouple growth from greenhouse gas emissions and the overexploitation of resources. Innovation, digitalization and circularity play a key role in the achievement of climate neutrality.
Sustainable
Behaviors
Solving environmental and ecological problems is impossible without understanding how people and organizations behave and promoting more sustainable practices.
Societal Changes
& Political Economy
Solving environmental problems faces also societal and political challenges, highlighting the role of incentives, political actors, and the role of society as an electorate.
Health
& Migration
Promoting well-being in the context of rapidly changing material conditions involves assessing adaptation strategies like human migration and reducing future risks to human health.
Biodiversity
Economics & Policy
Simultaneously addressing biodiversity loss and climate change to identify synergies and co-benefits, and understand trade-offs.
Resilient Cities
Responding to multiple environmental and social crises through the advancement of urban areas as laboratories and forerunners of societal transformations engaging multiple level of governance.
