"Our research aims to provide answers to some of the most pressing questions of our time: What are the socioeconomic costs of climate change?" Krähnert explains in a statement of the university. "Do adaptation measures bring the expected benefits to households? I'm particularly interested in climate insurance for small-scale farmers - many innovations have emerged here in recent years."
From 2019 to the end of 2022, Krähnert, who studied ethnology and economics, worked at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, where she first headed the Adaptation in Agricultural Systems working group and later the FutureLab Inequality, Human Wellbeing and Development. This position proved to be a stepping stone for the professorship in North Rhine-Westphalia.
