Responsibilities

I am a naturalist with a master's degree in Sciences and Management of Nature. I am also a specialist of sustainability and climate change.

My mission is to change the cities in which the vast majority of people are living, especially the big ones. To make this possible I am now undertaking a master in Urban Regeneration. I would like to increase public awareness about the role of the public green in mitigating the urban heat island effect and increasing public health.

Underlying all change, however, is the creation of a new need. That is why it is necessary to make people aware about climate change and what can be done to increase the resilience of cities and their inhabitants. That is why, for the last three years, I have been a member of The Climate Route APS, a social association aiming to bring the public closer to the effects of climate change through a land expedition and a documentary, that will be disseminated in Italy, EU and non-EU countries.
