Baiocchi, Giovanni

Bio

Professor Giovanni Baiocchi is an applied environmental economist. Giovanni’s main research looks at the global and local impact of economic activity, including trade, urbanization, diets, mobility, and lifestyles. He has published a wide range of interdisciplinary research in international multidisciplinary journals such as Science, Nature Climate Change, Nature Energy, Ecological Economics, Journal of Industrial Ecology, and Computational Economics.

Giovanni was a lead author for the IPCC 5th Assessment for Working Group III and a contributor for the 6th, focusing on the drivers, trends, and mitigation of climate change. He is an Executive Editor of the Journal of Cleaner Production, which ranks at No. 1 in the category of Sustainable Development by Google Scholar Metrics. He has been evaluating projects for the UN's IPCC on climate-relevant research in topics such as living soils, biodiversity, regenerative viticulture, agroforestry, water management and terrestrial carbon cycle to support early-career scientists from Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States.
