About

Michael Oppenheimer serves as the Director of The Center for Policy Research on Energy and Environment and holds the position of Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs at Princeton University, USA. His research focuses on climate change risks, energy policy, and adaptation strategies, as evidenced by his recent publications on tropical cyclone risks, coastal storm extremes, and the resilience of energy systems in response to climate-driven challenges.
