Full Professor of Climate Finance at Utrecht University’s School of Economics

Irene Monasterolo is Full Professor of Climate Finance at Utrecht University’s School of Economics, where her research focuses on the impact of climate risks on fiscal and financial stability, and on the role of the financial system (policies, markets, financial instruments) in climate mitigation and adaptation. Irene co-developed the climate stress test of the financial system, which introduced the first framework to translate climate scenarios into adjustment in financial valuation and risk metrics for investors, considering network effects. Irene has also co-developed the EIRIN Stock-Flow Consistent macro-financial model to analyse the impacts of climate physical and transition risks, and of green policies in the low-carbon transition. Irene’s work has been published in top journals including Science and Nature Climate Change.
