from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klaus Eisenack is a German mathematician and environmental economist . He is professor for resource economics at the Humboldt University in Berlin .

In 1999, Eisenack obtained an intermediate diploma in philosophy and economics from the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg , but graduated with a diploma in mathematics in 2001. From 2001 to 2008 he was a research assistant at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research . During this time he received his doctorate in mathematics at the Free University of Berlin in 2006 . From 2008 to 2014 he was junior professor for environmental and development economics in Oldenburg and head of the “Chameleon” research group. In 2014 he was appointed professor of economics, especially environmental and development economics, in Oldenburg, and in 2016 he went to the Humboldt University of Berlin as professor of resource economics.

His work on environmental and resource economics deals with the economics of climate change, and in particular with adaptation to climate impacts ( climate adaptation ). He sees strongly regulated sectors with long-lasting infrastructure, such as the energy industry and the transport sector, as the driving force. International environmental regimes and the resilience and political economy of the energy system are also examined .

Klaus Eisenack is also known for developing the climate game “Keep Cool” with his doctoral supervisor Gerhard Petschel-Held and for his research on the effectiveness of simulation games to convey climate change.
