Clara Berestycki
I am a 6th-year PhD student in the Sustainable Development program at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. I am an environmental economist working on climate change adaptation with interests in spatial mobility, air pollution, and green innovation.
Before starting the PhD, I graduated from Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay and worked as a consultant at the OECD. I hold a Master in Economics from ENSAE and Ecole Polytechnique. Please find my CV here.
I am on the 2026-27 job market.
