My Expertise

Communicator:
I’m often invited as a speaker on climate and energy topics and from feedback I’m regarded as an engaging communicator. Not only do I enjoy verbal communication, I’ve also devoted considerable time to overseeing the development of a user friendly interactive online visualisation tool, the Teal tool, which allows to explore climate, energy and risk variables, from the past ca. 70 years (1950-to present) with future projections (up to 2100), and including weather and seasonal forecasts.
Project Leader: Prof. Alberto Troccoli
Project Management and Entrepreneurial Ventures:
I have been fortunate to coordinate exciting projects in climate science and its applications, particularly in the energy sector. From the initial stages of proposal writing and consortium formation to execution, I have led initiatives such as the EU H2020 SECLI-FIRM project and the C3S Energy operational service. Additionally, I have a strong entrepreneurial spirit, having founded two successful startups: the not-for-profit WEMC, which connects science with industry, and the commercial venture Inside Climate Service.
Project Leader: Prof. Alberto Troccoli
Scientific Writer and Policy-Relevant Papers:
I am a prolific author of tens of peer-reviewed papers and four books, where I served as both editor and author. I have led or contributed to policy-relevant documents for organisations such as the UN’s WMO, the World Bank, and IRENA. Notable works include significant contributions to the World Bank’s “Climate Impacts on Energy Systems” (2011), leading the UN’s Global Framework for Climate Services Energy Exemplar (2016), and the WMO/IRENA Year in Review: Climate-Driven Global Renewable Energy Potential Resources and Energy Demand (2023).

Troccoli A et al (2013) Convener of 2nd International Conference Energy & Meteorology (ICEM) to be held at the Meteo-France International Conference Centre, Toulouse, France, 25–28 June 2013.
Troccoli A et al (2011) Convener of 1st International Conference Energy & Meteorology (ICEM) Initiated concept and led organisation of this very well received Conference, held in the Gold Coast, Australia, 8–11 November 2011.
A major outcome of ICEM 2011 is the recognition by the Energy and Meteorology communities that ICEM, and related activities (e.g. summer schools), needs to become mainstream. A book with selected lectures from ICEM 2011 is also being compiled.
Troccoli A et al (2008) Initiator and Director of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop “Weather/Climate Risk Management for the Energy Sector”. Initiated, planned and directed this Workshop with ca 30 participants.
Tasks included: proposal including detailed budget, coordination of scientific programme, budget management, additional fund raising, fostering relationships with external stakeholders, communication with typography and media.
Troccoli A et al (2005) Initiator and Director of a NATO Advanced Study Institute (summer school) ”Seasonal to Interannual Climate Variability: its Prediction and Impact on Society”. Initiated, planned and directed this summer school in a remote and novel venue with ca 80 participants (incl. 15 lecturers).
Tasks included: proposal including detailed budget, coordination of scientific programme, budget management, negotiations with venue management, attracted several additional sponsors, communication with the media, set-up and maintained ASI web site, coordinated participants selection, lectures preparation and leisure programme.
