 ate change is here and we have to deal with it. Observations give us eviden
 ce of what is happening, and science helps us understand how we got here. T
 echnology is available to address the problem, and the investments needed t
 o transform human activities are manageable. Yet, why have we not taken imp
 actful actions? Why do governments keep talking about future goals, while t
 hey fail to put in place policies that can trigger immediate and effective 
 actions? In this talk, I will discuss these aspects and how we can motivate
  a radical transformation.\nSpeaker: Professor Roberto Buizza, Scuola Super
 iore Sant’Anna, Pisa, ItalyRoberto Buizza has a degree in Physics from the 
 University of Milano, a PhD in Mathematics from University College London, 
 and a Master in Business Administration from London Business School. After 
 4 years at the ‘Centro di Ricerca Termica e Nucleare’ of the Electricity Bo

 Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), where he had been a key developer of the E
 CMWF ensembles, and served as Head of the Predictability Division and Lead 
 Scientist. In November 2018 he left ECMWF and joined ‘Scuola Superiore Sant
 ’Anna’ of Pisa, as Full Professor in Physics. Since then, he has been worki
 ng to establish a new initiative on climate with the support of the three ‘
 Scuole Universitarie Federate’ (Sant’Anna, ‘Scuola Normale Superiore’ of Pi

 semble methods and predictability, he has more than 200 publications, of wh
