Research Interests
Chiara’s research is concerned with legal aspects of environmental protection at different levels of governance, with special focus on the UK and EU decision-making.  She is particularly interested in public participation in environmental and planning decisions in the context of climate change mitigation and energy infrastructure. Her PhD thesis (under the supervision of Prof Maria Lee at UCL) explored the challenges of citizens and community participation in decision-making on the development of large offshore wind energy infrastructure (Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects) in England.
Chiara is currently developing her research exploring the legal and participatory aspects of the European Green Deal and the Just Transition. She is also interested in the relationship between law and literature in the climate crisis.
