Welcome
I am a researcher (HDR) in climate change economics at Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, and am the deputy director of the Centre International de recherche sur l’environnement et le développement, (CIRED).
I use economic modelling, GIS and data science, interdisciplinary integrated assessment models, as well as stakeholder analysis to address salient research questions on environmental urban policies, such as :
- the effectiveness of adaptation strategies
- the interactions between mitigation and adaptation policies
- the social and ecological trade-offs
I have a strong interest in prospective modelling, and in understanding how various environmental concerns interact with each other, and with social issues.
I am part of several academic networks and associations, including the Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN) and the Euro-LCP Research Network, and am associated to the research group Cities are Back in Town of Sciences Po. I am a member of several scientific councils and was from 2018 to 2022 a deputy board member of Ecole des Ponts ParisTech. Additionally, I was Guest editor of Special Issues on:
- Systematizing and upscaling urban climate change mitigation in Environmental Research Letters (2020)
- Cities: the core of climate change mitigation in Journal of Cleaner Production (2019)
I teach courses on climate change and adaptation policies in Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, Sciences Po Paris, École Polytechnique and master EEET. I also regularly give lectures in Ecole Nationale de la Météorologie, and like to communicate about climate policies. Several of my courses are available online.
