He actively co-leads the Einstein Centre Climate Change initiative in Berlin, focusing on demand-side climate protection solutions for urban environments.

His educational background includes:

• Doctoral thesis in Computational Neuroscience at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2003)

Creutzig's research centers on urban climate mitigation through:

• Transportation and infrastructure systems
• Land-use planning economics
• AI-driven climate protection tools
• Data governance frameworks
• Demand-side policy interventions

Current projects leverage Berlin's Big Data and AI expertise for climate innovation in construction/transport sectors, while integrating design, psychology, and art to catalyze socio-technical transformations. As an IPCC contributing author, he bridges scientific research with policy development.

He leads MCC's Land Use, Infrastructure and Transport working group and co-founded the Einstein Centre Climate Change, which develops pilot projects for Berlin-Brandenburg region through cross-institutional collaboration with TU Berlin, MCC, and WISTA.
