Short biography
I’m a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam, working within the project Climate Change and Fossil Fuels (CLIFF), led by Prof. Joyeeta Gupta. My research concerns the challenges and opportunities for a just and inclusive energy transition in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), focusing on Leaving Fossil Fuels Underground. I hold a MA in International Relations and a BA in Political, Social and International Sciences from the University of Bologna (Italy), with study and research experience in France (Paris 1), Spain (UCM) and Argentina (UNQ), including participation in the UN ECLAC’s Programme of Advanced Studies in Latin American Economies 2021. My previous research focused on labour income inequality in Italy and the process of deindustrialization in Argentina.
