Emily Theokritoff

Emily Theokritoff is a Visiting Fellow and Research Associate in Climate Damage Attribution at the Grantham Institute, Imperial College London, where she leads the development of a global rapid event impact attribution framework to quantify human impacts attributable to climate change during extreme weather events including heatwaves and storms.

Her academic credentials include a PhD in Geography from Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany) and an MSc in Environmental Engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), complemented by 6.5 years of professional experience at Climate Analytics, a specialized climate science and policy institute.

Dr. Theokritoff's research centers on climate impact attribution methodologies, climate change adaptation strategies, loss and damage assessment frameworks, and climate litigation mechanisms. Her pioneering work establishes scientific linkages between climate change and human consequences during extreme events, directly informing policy development and legal accountability frameworks in international climate negotiations.

She directs a dedicated research team at the Grantham Institute advancing rapid attribution systems that integrate climate science with socioeconomic impact analysis, creating critical evidence for loss and damage policy implementation under UNFCCC mechanisms and supporting climate-vulnerable nations in legal proceedings.
