Luca Mercalli

I am climatologist and glaciologist, president of the Italian Meteorological Society (established in 1865) and editor in chief of the scientific journal Nimbus. I teach climatic change and sustainability in Italian schools and universities, I write articles on newspapers, participate in TV programs about environmental issues, make public conferences (more than 3000 in the last 30 years), write both scientific books and popular ones, even comics on global warming. I live in a passive solar energy house located in the Italian western Alps, I drive an electric car charged by solar panels on my roof, I grow my vegetable, recycle all my waste and try to communicate that living within planetary boundaries is possible. I will continue this activities as EU Ambassador.
