Dr Alexandre Köberle is a Research Fellow at the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London. His research focuses on long-term scenarios of socio-environmental change, with special focus on the energy-land-climate nexus to assess potential trade-offs and synergies for concurrent achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). His interdisciplinary work uses energy systems and land use models at national, regional and global scales to investigate potential interlinkages between multiple policy objectives spanning energy use, climate action, agriculture, and nature conservation.

Before joining Imperial College, Dr Köberle was at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and he continues participation in projects begun there, including the ongoing CD-LINKS and COMMIT international projects. At Imperial, he is currently adding to the development of the TIAM-Grantham model through the implementation of the agricultural and land use sectors to better represent land-energy interactions. Dr Köberle is a Lead Author in UNEP’s 6^th Global Environment Outlook (GEO6), a Contributing Author on UNEP’s Gap Report, and a Lead Author for the IPCC’s 6^th Assessment Report.

Dr Köberle is a co-investigator in Paris Reinforce, a Horizon 2020 project involving a consortium of European and international institutions looking at low-carbon pathways to meet Paris Agreement goals through the use of models and stakeholder engagement. At Grantham and CCFI, Dr Köberle leads research on development of climate-financial scenarios to inform the financial sectors on climate-related risks and opportunities. His research has been used to support climate policy implementation in Brazil, the design of scenarios for the Bank of England, and the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS).
