Our Research

We research the interactions and trade-offs between climate protection, nature conservation and economic development and aim to contribute to the development of economically viable approaches to solve the climate and biodiversity crisis.

Research Projects

We are part of the joint project ASMASYS II on the assessment of marine CO2 removal options (synthesis, scenarios and regulation) with a sub-project on economic assessment. We are also involved in the Proposed Cluster of Excellence Breathing Nature and the research training group ECO-N.

Publications

The research has been published in leading economic and interdisciplinary journals, such as the American Economic Journal, Science and Nature Climate Change, and receives attention in policy consulting.
