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.
