Alexander Wollenweber

Alexander is a DPhil candidate at the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), University of Oxford, supervised by professors Nicola Ranger, Christopher Adam, and Michael Obersteiner, and a member of the Global Finance and Economy Group at the ECI and the Leverhulme Center for Nature Recovery. His research focuses on the interplay between climate change, environmental degradation, and the macroeconomy. Specifically, it aims to develop scenario analysis capturing the feedback between climate- and nature-related financial risks with sovereign debt sustainability and creditworthiness.

Alongside his doctoral studies, Alexander is interning as a Research Economist at S&P Global Ratings, working on nature- and climate-integrated macro-financial forecasts, and a Research Assistant at the ECI for projects related to Sovereign Nature Finance and Earth Observation. Previously, he worked as a Senior Sovereign Debt Analyst at the UN PRI, as a researcher at LSE’s Grantham Research Institute, and began his career in sovereign debt and currency asset management at Barings.

Alexander’s background is in international economics. He holds a double MSc (Distinction) from the London School of Economics from Sciences Po, and is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Research and Education via the Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation.
