Adam Roberti serves as executive director of the Xavier Cortada Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to use socially engaged art to create meaningful experiences that inspire people to take collective action against our climate and ecological crises. In this role, Roberti works alongside Miami-Dade County’s inaugural artist-in-residence Xavier Cortada to implement large-scale, interactive eco-art projects such as the Reclamation Project and The Underwater – two initiatives featured in Cortada’s 2022 TED Talk. Through these ongoing public art interventions, Roberti leads the foundation in partnering 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 demand action from their policymakers. Roberti is a double alumnus of the University of Miami, where he currently serves on an interdisciplinary research team specializing in climate migration and retreat. In 2023, he was recognized by the university as a “30 Under 30” honoree, selected as an Aspen Institute Future Leader Climate Fellow, and invited to Washington, D.C. as a delegate at the Local Conference of Youth USA.
