Kuat Abeshev

Research interests

I am the Head of Communications for the Horizon Europe project ClimTip, where we focus on quantifying climate tipping points and sharing this knowledge with the youth, scientists, and decision makers. My career began with over six years in creative media and advertising, followed by impactful roles at Germanwatch and the World Biogas Association, where I analyzed and communicated climate policies. After completing two M.Sc. degrees in Political Science and Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), I am now a Ph.D. candidate researching the politics of climate emotions exploring how eco-grief can drive climate action. Passionate about effective communication, I am committed to fostering a well-informed civil society and driving meaningful social change.
