Prof. Dr. Sabine Fuss co-heads RD5 and is also working group leader of the research group "Sustainable Carbon Management" at RD5. She holds a professorship in Sustainable Resource Management and Global Change at the Geographical Institute of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Previously, Prof. Fuss worked at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria that she is still guest-affiliated with. Her expertise is in sustainable development, tropical rainforest conservation, and climate change mitigation, with a particular focus on Carbon Dioxide Removal from the atmosphere (CDR). She was Lead Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C and was appointed to the European Academy of Sciences in 2021. Prof. Fuss received her PhD in International Economics from Maastricht University in 2008.
