Conference “Climate Crisis: from Data to Action” with Elisa Palazzi – Climatologist, author, and science communicator

ELISA PALAZZI
Graduated in Physics with a PhD in Physical Modeling for Environmental Protection, Elisa Palazzi is currently an associate professor at the University of Turin where she teaches Climate Physics.
Her main scientific interests concern the study of climate and its changes in mountainous regions, which are considered sentinels of climate change.
She is the co-author, along with Federico Taddia, of the children’s book Why Does the Earth Have a Fever? (Editoriale Scienza, 2019) and the climate podcast Beautiful World (Spotify, 2022). With Sara Moraca, she wrote We Are All Greta (Edizioni Dedalo, 2022).
She engages in scientific dissemination within national festivals, conferences, and meetings in schools of all levels.

CONFERENCE: Climate Crisis: From Data to Action
In the early days of 2025, the Copernicus climate report was published, highlighting the many negative climate records reached in 2024: the hottest year since we began global measurements, the first solar year in which the one-and-a-half-degree threshold compared to pre-industrial levels was exceeded, and a year rich in extreme events with devastating impacts in many cases. The director of Copernicus, upon the release of the report, stated that “Humanity is master of its own destiny, but how we respond to the climate challenge should be based on evidence. The future is in our hands: swift and decisive actions can still change the course of our climate.” The climate crisis is an increasingly evident reality, supported by robust and unequivocal scientific data, just as the effects of global warming are obvious to everyone. But data alone is not enough; it is essential to translate them into concrete and timely actions to mitigate the causes of climate change, adapt to them, and make the future more climatically stable, and consequently more secure and equitable.
