Giacomo Falchetta

I am a postdoctoral research scholar at the Energy, Climate, and Environment programme at IIASA (the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis) and a scientist at the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change with the CMCC@Ca' Foscari joint programme.

I am working on integrated energy-economy-environment analysis. I coordinate modelling activities in the H2020 LEAP-RE - RE4AFAGRI (Renewables for African Agriculture) project and I collaborate with the ERC EnergyA (Energy for Adaptation) project of Prof. Enrica De Cian.

Previously, I have been a researcher with the energy programmes of FEEM (Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei) and with the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and I served as advisory council member at EarthArXiv.

My work consists of data-driven research, mostly through empirical and techno-economic analysis of energy and environmental issues and the related policy implications. I strongly believe in the power of data (in particular, geospatial analysis and remote sensing) for empowering both research and policy.
