Bio
Lorenzo Pirozzi received a bachelor's degree in Development Studies in 2022 from the University of Bologna and a masters degree in Economic Sociology in 2023 from the LSE.
His research critically examines how nature and biodiversity are translated into economic and financial risks. He studyies how international, market-led standardisation initiatives such as the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures attempt to measure something as complex as biodiversity.
With a theoretical focus on the political and material possibilities of quantification and calculation, he analyses how these initiatives produce indicators and targets that organisations and financial markets can understand and manage. He investigates this transformation and its implications through qualitative methods, including interviews, document analysis, and observation.
