An Interview with FEEM: Exploring Climate Transformation and the Role of Science, Technology, and Policy

Prof. Phoebe Koundouri, on 02/12/2025 in Milan, reflected on what it truly takes to move from climate pledges to systemic transformation, and how science, technology, and policy can effectively work together to achieve this goal.

Prof. Koundouri recently had the pleasure of discussing these themes in an interview with Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), hosted by Prof. Sergio Vergalli within the Research Program “Modelling the Energy Transition (MET)”. The conversation explored the complexities of global climate governance and the COP process, the profound interconnections between mitigation and adaptation, and the realities of today’s intertwined economic, social, and environmental multi-crises.

The discussion also highlighted the crucial role of capacity building and digital twin systems in designing and testing evidence-based, just, and future-proof sustainability pathways before their implementation in the real world.
