Mitigating Urban Overheating Keynote

 

World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies (WSSET) - Interview

 Why is climate action so slow when the evidence is conclusive? 

 Prof. Mat Santamouris explained that climate action moves at different speeds because countries have different priorities, and that the overall pace is shaped more by those in power than by the public.

 A simple example is political lobbying. Fossil fuel companies spend millions influencing governments and policy processes, which can delay stricter emissions rules or weaken climate targets. 

Deeply Honoured

I am deeply honoured and truly grateful to share that Northumbria University, Newcastle UK, has appointed me as a Visiting Professor.

This distinction carries great meaning for me, and I feel a profound sense of responsibility toward the University’s leadership for their trust and confidence.

I look forward to contributing with dedication, enthusiasm, and respect for the academic community that has welcomed me so warmly.

I feel very proud, and I am deeply moved by the awarding of an honorary recognition plaque from the French Grande École nationale des Travaux publics de l'Etat in Lyon. I warmly thank all those who honored me, and I would like to dedicate this award to my unjustly lost friend and ENTPE professor, Gerard Guarraccino. We will always remember you, Gerard
