Kriegler

Prof. Dr. Elmar Kriegler is Head of the Research Department "Transformation Pathways" at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) where he puts his focus on the Research Area "Mitigation and Sustainable Development Pathways". His core expertise is in integrated assessment of climate change, scenario analysis and decision analysis.

Elmar Kriegler is Professor for Integrated Assessment of Climate Change at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Potsdam. He has coordinated several international integrated assessment modeling projects and has been a coordinator or member of the scientific boards of several German and EU research projects. He had a coordinating role in the development of the Shared-Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) in support of new scenarios for climate change research. He is also member of the scientific steering committee of the Integrated Assessment Modelling Consortium (IAMC). Elmar Kriegler has been a lead author for the chapters on "Mitigation pathways compatible with long-term goals" in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report of Working Group 3, "Transformation Pathways" in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report of Working Group 3 and "1.5°C Mitigation Pathways" in the IPCC Special Report on 1.5°C Warming. He has published more than 80 articles in refereed journals and was named Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate Analytics every year since 2018.

Elmar Kriegler received a diploma (MS equivalent) in physics from the University of Freiburg, Germany, in 1998, and a Ph.D. from the University of Potsdam, Germany, in 2005. He was a Marie Curie Fellow at the Department of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA.
