Giulio Boccaletti is a leading climate scientist and policy expert specializing in the governance of natural resources and the systemic risks associated with environmental change. As Scientific Director of the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC), he leads interdisciplinary research on climate risk, adaptation, and sustainability, contributing to the development of science-based insights that inform policy and strategic decision-making at national and global levels.

Trained as a physicist, Boccaletti has built a multidisciplinary career at the intersection of science, policy, and strategy. His work has been particularly influential in advancing the understanding of water systems as critical infrastructure shaping societies, economies, and political stability. He has contributed to global debates on climate resilience, resource management, and the cascading risks linked to environmental change.

Before joining CMCC, he served as Chief Strategy Officer at The Nature Conservancy and as a partner at McKinsey & Company, where he advised governments, institutions, and corporations on sustainability, long-term planning, and resource governance. This experience has enabled him to bridge scientific knowledge with practical implementation and policy design.

Boccaletti is an active contributor to international climate dialogue, collaborating with governments, global organizations, and research institutions to translate complex scientific insights into actionable frameworks.

His work reflects a unique ability to connect environmental systems with economic and political dynamics, supporting more resilient, sustainable, and forward-looking approaches to global challenges.
