Adam Roberti serves as executive director of the Xavier Cortada Foundation. In this role, Roberti works alongside Cortada to implement large-scale, interactive eco-art projects such as the Reclamation Project and The Underwater – two initiatives featured in Cortada’s TED Talk on community climate action. Through these ongoing public art interventions, he spearheads the foundation’s collaborations with local schools, parks, libraries, businesses, and governments to engage and educate vulnerable communities, helping them prepare for the climate crisis and motivating them to get involved in local policymaking.

Roberti received a Bachelors in Ecosystem Science & Policy and a Masters of Environment, Culture, and Media from the University of Miami, where he serves on an interdisciplinary research team focused on climate migration and retreat. Roberti has also shared his expertise through speaking engagements with Amnesty International, the Aspen Institute, the National Wildlife Federation, and multiple universities.
