Our research

Topics

a
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.

a
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.

a
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.

a
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.

a
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.

a
Sustainable
Behaviors

Solving environmental and ecological problems is impossible without understanding how people and organizations behave and promoting more sustainable practices.

a
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.

a
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.

a
Biodiversity
Economics & Policy

Simultaneously addressing biodiversity loss and climate change to identify synergies and co-benefits, and understand trade-offs.

a
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.
