PECan

PECan (The Political Economy of Climate Policy and Finance) is a Junior Research Group based at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). The PECan Research Group explores the socio-ecological interactions between climate, political and financial systems, and aims at identifying and analyzing systemic barriers that are not well understood due to disciplinary boundaries as well as consistent scenarios of transformation (including regulation), quantification of transition risks, to improve sustainable investment options for retail investors, and improved climate-stress-tests for central banks. PIK contributes to the project studies employing the shock-propagation model Acclimate.
