Klaus Eisenack is professor for resource economics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. His research focuses on adaptation to climate change, climate governance, and the energy transition, with particular interests in urban climate governance and resolving implementation gaps for environmental policy instruments. Methods of choice are game theory, modelling of institutional arrangements, comparative approaches (in particular archetype analysis) and simulation games (e.g. the Keep Cool climate game). He was professor for economics at Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg (2008-2016), and scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (2001-2008). Klaus Eisenack has a background in mathematics, economics and philosophy, and holds a PhD in mathematics from the Free University Berlin (2006).
