Giacomo Falchetta

Giacomo Falchetta is 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.

He is working on integrated energy-economy-environment analysis. He coordinates modeling activities in the H2020 LEAP-RE – RE4AFAGRI (Renewables for African Agriculture) project and he collaborates with the ERC EnergyA (Energy for Adaptation) project of Prof. Enrica De Cian.

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

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