Carolina Agostini

Carolina is an Italian national, who joined Milieu in October 2025, while previously collaborating as an external expert. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Politics: Philosophy and Economics from LUISS University, and a Joint Master’s degree in EU Trade and Climate Diplomacy from LUISS University and the CIFE Institute. Her core areas of expertise include international and EU marine law and policy, marine renewable energy and deep-sea mining, as well as the interactions between trade and sustainability. She previously undertook an internship with a non-profit organisation dedicated to marine and coastal preservation, after developing a strong interest in ocean politics during her Erasmus at the University of Copenhagen. In June 2025, she participated in the UN Scientific Congress and the Third UN Ocean Conference in Nice, where she gained valuable insights into marine diplomacy and conservation. During her studies, she was an active member of the university’s Political Science Association and of the non-profit Legambiente, contributing journal articles on geopolitics and environmental sustainability. She also took part in three seminars of the Young European Federalist Movement, deepening her knowledge of critical EU matters. Driven by these interdisciplinary experiences, she strongly believes in the importance of bridging scientific findings with policy solutions to address global environmental challenges. She is fluent in Italian and English, and has an intermediate level of French.
