Nature as inspiration for climate-proof solutions
Expert(s) |
Stefano Gamberoni
How can we combat climate change and restore natural ecosystems at the same time? This is the question that Stefano Gamberoni struggles with every day. Stefano is a junior advisor and researcher in the field of Nature-based Solutions and the carbon cycle in coastal areas. What inspires him to work at Deltares? We asked Stefano: "What drives you?"
Ever since high school, Stefano Gamberoni knew he wanted to do something about climate change. "A physics and biology teacher showed me how much influence humans have on the environment, but also how much power and resilience there is in nature itself. That passion for nature and sustainability has always stayed with me."

Make a difference
During his internship at Deltares, he researched innovative methods to accelerate the drainage of soft sediments, for example using plants or worms. "What struck me even then was the open culture. Everyone is willing to share knowledge. You really feel that you are part of a community that works every day on the major challenges of our time."
After his internship, he decided to stay. "I felt that I could really make a difference here. Of course, it was difficult to leave Italy and my girlfriend behind. But we agreed to focus on the positive. We are both where we need to be in order to grow."
Connected with people and nature
What is Stefano's motivation? His deep connection with people and nature. "I am very committed to helping people. And this is my way of helping them. Of course, there are doctors who have a direct impact on people and save lives. We have our research, and I feel that in a way we are doing similar things. We are developing solutions to save lives and restore the environment."
According to Stefano, it is important to share hope as well as concerns. "People need to know that there are thousands of researchers and engineers around the world working on solutions. We show them that there is hope, and we are working on it every day."
