Lennart Stangenberg

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Leibniz University Hannover in the working group “Environmental Behavior and Planning” of Ann-Kathrin Koessler, and work in the Future lab towards Forests Resilient to Climate Change (FoResLab).

My research interests are Behavioral Economics, Experimental Economics, and Environmental Economics.

In June 2025, I have defended my PhD thesis at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, where I was supervised by Noemi Peter and Adriaan Soetevent.

My thesis’ title is: Economic Choice under Climate Change Pressure: Information, Coordination, and the Challenges of Inaction.
