معرفی
Laura Booth is a Lecturer at the Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zurich. She coordinates major projects including the Climate Policy Group’s ESPREssO Project (H2020), the Sentinel Project’s energy modeling initiatives, and the Klima CH2025 Project on Swiss climate scenarios. Her research focuses on Climate Risk, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), and Climate Change Adaptation, with expertise in geoscience risk assessment, coastal management, and policy analysis. She teaches in ETH’s Risk Analysis & Management (Bachelor) and Quantitative Policy Analysis and Modeling (QPAM) (Master) programs.
Key research contributions include synthesizing legal/policy approaches in DRR and CCA, developing stakeholder engagement frameworks, and evaluating scenario methodologies for disaster prevention. Projects emphasize synergies between Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction sectors across Europe. She also leads energy transition modeling and Swiss climate scenario updates through C2SM.
- Projects:
- ESPREssO: Building CCA-DRR synergies in EU
- Sentinel Project: Clean energy transition modeling
- Klima CH2025: Swiss climate scenarios update
- Teaching: Quantitative Policy Analysis and Modeling (Autumn 2025).
- Advising: Active in policy innovation and stakeholder collaboration across multi-national projects.
Laura’s work bridges geoscience risk analysis with policy implementation, emphasizing actionable strategies for climate resilience and disaster preparedness.
