Research Groups in Department Climate Economics and Policy
Our research is carried out in seven working groups and a Policy Evaluation Lab. Research group leaders stem from a large variety of backgrounds, which enables a truly transdisciplinary approach:
- Welfare and Policy Design
- Climate Policy and Development
- Sustainable Carbon Management
- Cities: Data Science and Sustainable Planning
- Evidence for Climate Solutions
- Public Economics and Climate Finance
- Governance
- Policy Evaluation Lab
We want to provide the scientific basis for solutions related to global commons problems as well as to initiate and play an active role in the intellectual debate, e.g. via publications in scientific journals and in major media outlets. RD5’s research is therefore guided by three key questions. These focus on the causalities and processes related to global commons, on policy options to govern global commons, and on the design of the science-policy interface. In this context, RD5 evaluates different property rights and governance regimes for managing the global commons.
