Speaking

Over the years I have spoken at, or chaired, a variety of events. Here is a very short selection:

  • CGIL event in London, 2022: invited by INCA UK to speak alongside Maurizio Landini, secretary general of Italy’s largest trade union (CGIL). The event was mainly about Brexit but as this was covered by previous speakers I addressed the issue of climate change and just transition, the potential job creation of renewable energy, within the context of recent Italian elections, and implications for the Italian diaspora.
  • The Convention (2019), on a panel with Labour MP Stella Creasy MP, former Tory MP Neil Carmichael, chaired by Mary Fitzgerald of OpenDemocracy. Video of the session here.
  • Europe Day event (2018), speaking in a session with Lord Andrew Adonis , Lucy Anderson MEP, Stephen Dorrell, Brendan Donnelly, Jean Lambert MEP, Femi Oluwole and John Stevens. My speech is here.
  • IDDRI event in Paris, France, on European climate policy (2017). Chair and speaker of a session.

London School of Economics career event (2017) organised by the Student Union’s “Alternative Career Society”

  • CarbonCAP conference in Brussels on consumption-based approaches in international climate change policy (2016)
  • UK Parliament, Westminster (2005) Science and Technology select Committee evidence session
