IPCC scientists say it all in their latest climate report
On 9th August, the IPCC presented the first part of its sixth Assessment Report. If we don’t act now against the climate crisis, we’ll be forced to live in a state of constant emergency.

I’m a journalist and geographer. I travel to write. My focus areas are climate change, energy and the green economy. American politics is my favourite sport, I covered Obama’s first term from Washington. I’ve written books including “Bioarchitettura” (Hachette editions) ; “Il mondo dopo Parigi. L’accordo sul clima visto dall’Italia: prospettive, criticità e opportunità” (Ambiente editions) and “Che cosa è l’economia circolare” (Ambiente editions). I’m now working on a new book on water grabbing. I won the European Journalism Center Grant four times, as well as the Middlebury Environmental Journalism Fellowship (once) and was nominated as Earth Journalist (Giornalista per la Terra) 2015. My religion? has two wheels.

Palestinians use 70 litres of water a day each on average, Israelis consume 280. Why is this? A deep insight into the Israeli-Palestinian water conflict.
Defying all predictions, Donald Trump has won the American elections. He is to become the 45th President of the United States.
Economia, politica estera, istruzione. I temi hanno dominato l’ultimo incontro tra i due candidati, finalmente. Ma Trump rovina tutto: “Non so se accetterò il risultato delle elezioni”.
