Prof. Yassine Charabi is a climate scientist whose research examines the dynamics of climate change, carbon-budget constraints, mitigation pathways, energy-system transformation, and sustainable transitions. His work is concerned with one of the central questions of contemporary climate science: how societies can reconcile development, technological change, and energy demand with the finite limits of the global carbon budget.

He has been recognized among the Top 2% Scientists Worldwide in the Stanford University/Elsevier ranking since 2022 and served as a Lead Author for the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Working Group I. Across more than 100 scientific publications, his research has contributed to climate modelling, climate-impact assessment, mitigation analysis, energy transitions, resilience systems, and environmental sustainability.

Prof. Charabi’s work combines climate-system analysis with policy-relevant assessment. His research focuses on the timing, feasibility, and systemic consequences of climate action, particularly where emissions trajectories, energy infrastructure, technological deployment, and sustainability objectives intersect. A central theme of his scholarship is that climate action must be evaluated not only by its long-term promise, but also by its cumulative impact, temporal dynamics, and alignment with the remaining carbon budget.

His current research interests include climate modelling and simulation, carbon-budget accounting, mitigation pathways, energy transitions, climate-risk and resilience systems, sustainable development, and the climate implications of emerging technologies.
