Dr. Luca Coscieme 

Programme Lead Sustainable Lifestyles

“Now we need to be good and to be beautiful as much as possible” – Enzo Tiezzi.

Luca comes from the Ecodynamics group, a reference point for Sustainable thinking and transdisciplinary research. His interest beyond disciplinary knowledge brought him around the world. In Australia, he learned how to use satellite images to explore the economy from outer space. In Ireland, he studied how healthy environments mean healthy societies. In Brazil, he found new ways for accounting the innumerable benefits nature gives us all. Luca was a fellow of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), he is a member of the Well-Being Economy Alliance, and was awarded a Marie-Curie scholarship at Trinity College Dublin and the European Environment Agency. He joined Hot or Cool as he believes communication between Society and Science is what is most needed.
