Jens Borken-Kleefeld

Jens Borken-Kleefeld is a Research Scholar with IIASA’s program on Mitigation of Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases. He is an expert in environmental impact assessment applied particularly to the transport sector. He joined IIASA in July 2008, where he is modeling air pollution impacts, abatement costs and abatement potentials with the GAINS model.

Dr. Borken-Kleefeld holds an MSc in environmental physics and a PhD in technology impact assessment from Heidelberg and Freiburg Universities, as well as a diploma in theoretical physics from Imperial College, London. Prior to joining IIASA, he carried out research on transport and the environment at the German Aerospace Center, at the French National Transport Research Laboratory, and as an independent consultant.

His research interests include indicators for sustainable mobility, decision making, short-term climate forcers and long-term scenarios. He is editor for the Swiss ecoinvent life cycle database and serves as reviewer to journals as well as for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report.
