Carlo Carraro

[2] In 2008, Carraro was elected vice-chair of the Working Group III[3] and member of the bureau[4] of the Nobel Laureate Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

He is one of the authors of the Third Assessment Report of the IPCC and he collaborated with the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), Cabinet Office, Government of Japan, with the OECD and with World Bank.

Professor Carraro is member of the International Advisory Board of the Harvard Environmental Economics Program (HEEP) and of the European Research Council Advanced Grants Evaluation Panel.

He is also member of the Steering Committee of the Ca’ Foscari - Harvard Summer School (CFHSS), the International Energy Workshop (IEW), and the Coalition Theory Network (CTN).

Chancellor Carraro's decision to invite for the inauguration of 2010-2011 Paolo Scaroni, the managing director of ENI S.p.A., and recipient of a one-year four months suspended sentence for corruption during "tangentopoli" occasioned strong protests.

[10] His decision to swap three buildings owned by Venice university, two of which are grade-listed sixteenth century palaces, with a 1957 office block in 2013 also sparked strong dissent and protest.
