The research team
Valentina Bosetti – Coordinatrice
Valentina Bosetti is Full Professor at the Department of Economics, "Ettore Bocconi", member of the Managing Committee of the Green Research Center of Bocconi University and Senior Scientist at the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment.
Alice is also a Consultant in Shareholder Engagement at ClientEarth, an NGO composed by environmental lawyers, which fights, through the force of law, to combat climate change and protect biodiversity and human health. For years, together with her husband, she has been supporting scientific and educational initiatives in the environmental field through donations, including one in favor of GREEN, the Bocconi Research Center on Geography, Natural Resources, Environment, Energy and Networks. The donation concerns in particular the projects followed by Valentina Bosetti, student and collaborator of the Nobel Prize for Economics 2018 William Nordhaus. To the research strand related to climate change and coordinated by Valentina Bosetti also contributes the donation of Claudia Segre, who since 2017 has been supporting transversally the development activities of Università Bocconi.

Il Progetto
As part of her own research on Climate Change, and in particular as part of the broader research project aimed at exploring uncertainty and risk related to climate change, Prof. Valentina Bosetti has been able to transform the support received into concrete activities designed to create a fundamental database for the subsequent work of studying the evidence.
The data collection on attention and concern related to environmental issues (specifically climate change and local pollution), as well as economic issues, covers 3 continents (Europe, America and Asia), was launched in November 2019 in 6 major cities (Milan, Rome, New York, Dallas, Beijing and Shanghai) and is still ongoing today.
The data collection phase has unexpectedly also covered the emergency period of COVID-19 and the processing of the first results shows that the environmental issue, unlike others, remains perceived as "priority" even at source to the emergence of other concerns, even serious ones (e.g. COVID).
