Short Bio
Marc Zebisch holds a PhD from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the TU-Berlin and has been researching on climate impact research and climate risk assessment for more than 20 years. At Eurac Research, he focuses on the local and regional impacts of climate change in the European Alps and climate risks in other regions and mountain areas. Since 2005, he has been a key contributor to climate risk assessments for the Federal Republic of Germany (link), and is a member of the Climate Change and Adaptation Topic Center of the European Environment Agency (EEA-ETC_CA), the Steering Committee of the Austrian Climate Research Program (ACRP), and the Climate Council of the Alpine Convention (ACB). He is lead author of the Climate Risk Sourcebook, a GIZ guideline for climate risk assessment that is applied in more than 20 countries (link) and was responsible for the methodological framework of the first European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA) of the European Environment Agency (EEA).
