Cristiana Foglia is a Policy Officer at ZEP, where she supports the organisation’s work on advancing evidence-based policy advice to the EU on industrial carbon management. She contributes to ZEP’s policy work, helping shape positions and recommendations on key EU files, including the CO₂ market and transportation infrastructure legislative initiative, lead markets (including the Industrial Accelerator Act), the Net-Zero Industry Act, the EU Climate Law, as well as International Environmental Treaties and Protocols (e.g. London Protocol)

Before joining ZEP, she worked in an environmental law firm in Italy, where she gained experience in EU and national environmental and climate legislation.
