Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Sustainability
  • Risk management

Environmental resource management, Climate change, Risk management, Natural resource economics and Vulnerability are his primary areas of study. His research on Environmental resource management often connects related topics like Adaptation. Reinhard Mechler does research in Climate change, focusing on Global warming specifically.

His studies in Risk management integrate themes in fields like Economic security, Key person insurance, Business interruption insurance and Environmental planning. The Natural resource economics study combines topics in areas such as Climate change adaptation, Climate change mitigation and Agriculture. His Vulnerability study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Developing country and Weather and climate.

His most cited work include:

  • Flood risk and climate change: global and regional perspectives (531 citations)
  • Technical Summary: Global warming of 1.5°C. An IPCC Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty (444 citations)
  • Determinants of risk: Exposure and vulnerability (317 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Reinhard Mechler spends much of his time researching Environmental resource management, Risk management, Climate change, Environmental planning and Natural resource economics. His work in Environmental resource management addresses issues such as Loss and damage, which are connected to fields such as Climate risk management. His study in the fields of Risk financing under the domain of Risk management overlaps with other disciplines such as Context.

Reinhard Mechler has included themes like Greenhouse gas and Sustainable development in his Climate change study. He works mostly in the field of Environmental planning, limiting it down to concerns involving Cost–benefit analysis and, occasionally, Risk analysis. His Natural disaster study combines topics in areas such as Economic growth and Developing country.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental resource management (33.20%)
  • Risk management (26.64%)
  • Climate change (29.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Environmental planning (24.32%)
  • Loss and damage (11.97%)
  • Risk management (26.64%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Reinhard Mechler mainly investigates Environmental planning, Loss and damage, Risk management, Environmental resource management and Climate risk management. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Environmental planning, focusing on Sustainability and, on occasion, Science policy and Engineering ethics. His research integrates issues of Economic Justice, Permafrost and Climate risk, Climate change in his study of Loss and damage.

His work on Global warming as part of general Climate change study is frequently linked to Globe, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Risk management research incorporates elements of Economic sector and Risk analysis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Public sector, Adaptive management and General partnership.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Technical Summary: Global warming of 1.5°C. An IPCC Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty (444 citations)
  • Strengthening and Implementing the Global Response (54 citations)
  • An overview of serious games for disaster risk management – Prospects and limitations for informing actions to arrest increasing risk (36 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Climate change
  • Sustainability
  • Risk management

Reinhard Mechler mainly investigates Loss and damage, Climate risk, Public economics, Risk management and Climate risk management. The various areas that Reinhard Mechler examines in his Loss and damage study include Glacier, Permafrost, Climate change and Environmental law. His Climate change study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Natural resource and Livelihood.

His Public economics research integrates issues from Disaster risk reduction and Liability. In his research, Risk financing, Global warming and Order is intimately related to Economic Justice, which falls under the overarching field of Risk management. His studies deal with areas such as Poverty, Natural resource economics and Greenhouse gas as well as Global warming.
