Reimund Schwarze

Professor Reimund Schwarze serves as faculty at Viadrina European University's Institute for European Studies (IFES) in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany, where his research addresses critical economic dimensions of climate change impacts across Europe. His work bridges environmental science and economic policy with direct relevance to EU institutional frameworks.

His research portfolio centers on:

• Quantitative assessment of climate risk insurance mechanisms
• Economic modeling of flood/heatwave/drought impacts on infrastructure
• Insurance industry adaptation strategies for climate volatility
• Cost-benefit analysis of natural hazard mitigation policies
• European environmental economy regulatory frameworks
• Cross-border risk management coordination

Professor Schwarze examines how intensifying climate extremes affect German and EU citizens, businesses, and public systems, with particular emphasis on insurance sector responses to systemic environmental risks. His applied research directly informs policy debates on climate resilience financing.
