Lennart's research aims to apply a variety of mathematical methods to climate impact research:
He develops and uses the global economic model Acclimate to analyse higher-order effects of economic disruptions, e.g. caused by extreme weather events, on inequality and possible adaptation strategies.
Additionally he is investigating transfers of financial mathematics methods to climate risk analysis.
