Biography :  Mario Giampietro recently retired from his position as ICREA Research Professor at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain. Currently, he is associated with the European Centre for Governance in Complexity in Norway. He worked and still works on the integrated assessment of sustainability issues using concepts from complex systems theory.
