Alexander Wollenweber

Alexander is a DPhil candidate at the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), University of Oxford, supervised by Dr Nicola Ranger and a member of the Global Finance and Economy Group at the ECI. His research focuses on the interplay between climate change, macro-financial risks, and public finance. Further, it aims to understand and develop scenario analysis to capture the feedback between cascading climate- and nature-related financial risks with macro-financial risks, and quantify the implications for sovereign debt sustainability and creditworthiness.

Alongside his doctoral studies at Oxford, Alexander is a Senior Analyst, Fixed Income, at the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment. Previously, Alexander was a researcher at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics (LSE), where he co-authored a paper on 'aligning sovereign bond markets with the net zero transition: the role of central banks'. He began his career in the financial industry, having worked as a Climate Finance Research Fellow at Barings Investment Management, Sovereign Debt and Currencies.

Alexander holds an MSc (Distinction) in International Political Economy from LSE, an MSc in International Economic Policy from Sciences Po with a major in quantitative methods, and a BSc. in International Business and Politics from Copenhagen Business School (CBS).
