Sigrid Stagl is Professor of Environmental Economics & Policy at WU, the Vienna University of Economics and Business where she is the founder of the Institute for Ecological Economics.

Her work addresses societal challenges such as the climate crisis, environmental problems and inequality.

Working on these problem areas often requires interdisciplinary collaborations. Insights from the interdisciplinary research can then inform and improve the economics discipline.

Currently she is the Head of the Department Socioeconomics and Director of the Competence Centre STaR, Sustainability Transformation and Responsibility.
