Description

The “Facing climate change” masterclass was a unique opportunity for a group of international students studying in Sicily to gain a deep understanding of the current climate scenario and the effective policies and practices for combating it. The event features Amy Myers Jaffe, a distinguished research professor and the managing director of Tufts University Fletcher School’s Climate Policy Lab, as well as the co-chair of the steering committee of the Women in Energy Initiative at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy.

During the event, Professor Myers Jaffe delivered a compelling lecture that focuses on international energy policy, business, and sustainability. She shared her extensive knowledge and experience in the field of climate change, highlighting the policies that have proven successful and those that have fallen short. After the lecture, there was a collective debate where students asked questions, shareed reflections, and exchangeed ideas.
