Fabio Sferra is a climate policy analyst and contributes his expertise in the field of integrated assessment modelling and mitigation policies chiefly to the Climate Action Tracker project. His recent work focuses on the efficiency of fragmented climate agreements and related financial transfers. Fabio has also investigated the optimal energy investments in a low-carbon world. His main research interests involve energy and climate change modelling.
Before joining Climate Analytics, he worked as a researcher at FEEM (Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei), in the climate change and sustainable development division.
Fabio holds a MSc in Energy Risk Management from the Bicocca University of Milan and a degree in Economics from Cattolica University of Milan.
