Giulia Valenti is a PhD candidate in Science and Management of Climate Change at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. She previously studied economics at La Sapienza University of Rome and, in the context of the Erasmus+ programme, at KU Leuven University in Belgium. During these years she became interested in topics related to economic inequalities, environmental and health economics, adopting mainly an empirical approach. She carried out a traineeship at the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) where she worked on gender inequalities. Moreover, she was a visiting researcher at the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and at the Paris School of Economics (PSE), where she explored environmental justice issues.
