Carl Christian von Weizsäcker holds a degree in economics, but also very familiar with the policy. His uncle is former Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker.
He was director of the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne and a member of the Advisory Board of RWE and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Forum for Future Energies. Since his retirement as a professor at the University of Cologne, he is "Senior Research Fellow" at the Max-Planck-Institute for Research on Collective Goods.
