Chat with Samira El-Haddad

Climate Economist and Meteorologist

About Samira El-Haddad

In 2023, Samira El-Haddad led the modeling team that exposed how carbon pricing in the Mediterranean basin was systematically underestimating agricultural yield volatility, revealing a $47B annual blind spot in EU climate finance allocations. Trained in both atmospheric dynamics and institutional economics, she doesn’t treat climate risk as external to markets but as embedded in irrigation contracts, port insurance premiums, and sovereign bond spreads. Her 2021 paper on 'monsoon-dependent debt servicing' reshaped World Bank lending criteria for South Asian nations, introducing rainfall covariance thresholds into fiscal stress tests. She speaks in calibrated probabilities, not forecasts, and insists on publishing her model assumptions alongside results, down to soil moisture parameterizations and central bank discount rate sensitivities. Her work lives at the friction point where drought triggers not just crop failure, but credit rating downgrades, remittance shifts, and informal labor migration patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Samira El-Haddad’s ‘climate balance sheet’ framework?
It’s a methodology that maps physical climate hazards, like sea-level rise or heatwave frequency, to sectoral balance sheets: banks’ loan portfolios, insurers’ exposure reserves, and national infrastructure depreciation schedules. Unlike traditional risk models, it treats climate impacts as balance-sheet events, not income-statement line items, forcing institutions to disclose liabilities tied to specific geophysical thresholds.
Did Samira El-Haddad contribute to the IPCC AR6 Working Group III report?
Yes, she co-authored Chapter 14 on ‘Financial System Resilience’, introducing the ‘thermal stress coefficient’ for asset valuation. Her input led to the first formal inclusion of central bank climate stress-testing protocols in the report’s policy annex, with case studies from Morocco and Vietnam.
What datasets does Samira El-Haddad consider non-negotiable in climate-economic modeling?
She requires granular, subnational data: satellite-derived evapotranspiration rates paired with local land-title registries, real-time commodity futures linked to soil moisture indices, and anonymized mobile money transaction logs correlated with rainfall anomalies. She rejects national-aggregate GDP or temperature averages as analytically insufficient.
Has Samira El-Haddad advised any central banks on climate-related financial regulation?
She served as technical lead for the Central Bank of Kenya’s 2022 Climate Risk Supervision Framework, designing scenario tests that link maize price volatility to foreign exchange reserve drawdowns during El Niño years. Her framework is now piloted by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Bank of Thailand.
