Friedemann Müller is the chairman of the research group “Global Issues” at the German Institute of International and Security Affairs (SWP) in Berlin. He joined this think tank in 1973. He also serves as project director of the International Network To Advance Climate Talks (INTACT), a transatlantic project on climate policy funded by the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Robert Bosch Foundation.

The aim of the INTACT project is to inform the policymaking process and thus lay the foundation for future international efforts to combat climate change. Since its initiation in 2001, INTACT has established itself as a leading forum in the climate policy debate, bringing together top representatives of government, industry, and academia from both sides of the Atlantic to develop common and complementary approaches to the global challenge of climate change.

Dr. Müller completed both his master’s and doctoral degrees in economics at the University of Freiburg (1973). During his university studies, he received a fellowship at Lomonosov Moscow State University (1970/71) and later worked as a research fellow at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica (1980/81) and the Overseas Development Council in Washington, DC. (1988/89). In 1996, Dr. Müller was appointed to the Policy Planning Staff of the German Federal Foreign Office.

His work on climate change and energy security has been widely published in major foreign policy journals.
