Roberto is a Research Assistant for the Resilience and Development Group at the ECI and the Resilient Planet Finance Lab. He leads the group’s work on climate change adaptation taxonomies and corporate assessment frameworks. He has led projects analysing different adaptation taxonomies, tracking nature-positive fiscal spending in response to COVID-19 and assessing firm adaptation alignment through AI. He has also provided exposure analyses of nature-related transition risks. Roberto’s research interests lie in uncovering how increased adaptation- and resilience-aligned finance can be mobilised through targeted policy interventions from regulators and governments.
Prior to working for the ECI, Roberto worked on UK PACT – the UK’s flagship climate change mitigation grants programme – among other roles. He also completed the MSc in Environmental Change and Management at the University of Oxford with a thesis focused on evaluating assumptions in top-down nature-related risk assessments.
