Florian is a Project Manager in the Climate Risk Analytics Team within MCII. Much of his work and research as an economist focuses on the analysis of monetary and non-monetary impacts of natural hazards.

Florian has gathered a wealth of experience working at ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ applying the Economic of Climate Adaptation (ECA) framework in different settings. As member of ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ's Climate Risk Analytics team, he is developing the framework further to also address non-monetary impacts on e.g. social protection dimensions. He has a deep interest in better understanding how people are affected by natural hazards beyond impacts on physical infrastructure.

His work at ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ and his previous positions, e.g. at GIZ, allowed him to gather work experience leading and working projects in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia.
