- Political Economy of Climate Policy: Examines incentives, barriers, and political dynamics influencing decarbonization, carbon pricing, and international climate agreements.
- Policy Portfolios and Scenarios: Designs integrated policy packages for net-zero transitions, CO2 removal, energy systems, and biodiversity protection using quantitative models and game theory.
- Inequality and Justice: Investigates distributional impacts of climate policies, gender aspects, and pathways to prosperity within planetary boundaries.
The campus emphasizes rigorous economic modeling, empirical analysis, and deliberative processes to provide evidence-based advice to policymakers at regional, national, and global levels. Key tools include integrated assessment models, machine learning for policy evaluation, and open-source software for decision support.
