Prof. Dr. Reimund Schwarze

Climate change is becoming more and more noticeable in our everyday lives. Increasingly extreme floods, heatwaves and droughts are affecting companies, public infrastructure and, above all, citizens in Germany and the EU. All this poses major challenges in particular for insurance companies: How to recognise and manage such climate impacts are important questions for the insurance industry and the European environmental economy. Professor Reimund Schwarze conducts research into the economics of climate change, climate risk insurance and the management of natural hazards in Europe.
