2006. He has received several awards for his research work, such as the Green Talent Award 2012 from the German government and the Mitra Award 2013 from the Asia Pacific Network on Global Change Research (APN-GCR), among others. Dr Jupesta is an editor for Carbon Capture Science and Technology (Elsevier) and Data and Policy (Cambridge University Press) journals. He was a Lead Author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report on WG III Climate Change Mitigation (2018-2022). In 2023 he was elected as Task Force Bureau Member on National GHG Inventories of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for its 7th cycle (2023-2030). Since 2023 he became Technical Expert of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) Member of Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). During his 15-year career in think tanks, academia, and the private sector, he has published three edited books, over 40 journal articles and book chapters, and more than 30 international conference proceedings.

Dr Gloria Pignatta is Scientia Lecturer (Assistant Professor) and High Performance Architecture (HPA) Research Cluster expert in the School of Built Environment, Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia. She is also Investigator at the UNSW Material and Manufacturing Institute (MMFI) and, in 2021, she was nominated City Futures Research Centre (CFRC) Fellow. She received a Ph.D. degree in Energy Engineering from the University of Perugia, Italy, in 2016. In the same year, she was Postdoctoral Fellow at the Inter-University Research Center on Pollution and Environment "Mauro Felli" (CIRIAF), University of Perugia, Italy, working on European H2020 projects where she gained real-world design, construction and thermal-energy monitoring experience at settlement level. From 2017 to 2018, before joining UNSW, she worked as Postdoctoral Associate and Building and Construction Expert at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), in Singapore. In 2023, she received the Graduate Certificate in Management from UNSW AGSM. She is the Australian representative for the Annex 83 on Positive Energy District (PED) supported by the Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (EBC) by the International Energy Agency (IEA). She is an expert in building energy efficiency and sustainable solutions for the built environment. Her research touches on different fields, from engineering to architecture, material science, and urban climate, and aims to face the global problem of climate adaptation and mitigation, but also social challenges, such as energy inequality. She has been actively engaged in research and PhD supervision and contributed to the knowledge and literature with more than 40 peer-reviewed papers in high-ranking journals, 3 books, and numerous international conference papers and book chapters. Dr Pignatta has been invited to act as Editor for Energy Nexus (Elsevier) journal and Conference/Sessional Chair in several international conferences. She is also Guest and Topic editor in a number of Q1 and Q2 journals. Her collaboration network touches different countries: Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Denmark, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Singapore, Sweden, USA, Canada, India, and Australia.
