Explore Second Nature Lab
For 140 years, Maccaferri has worked at the intersection of nature and human ambition, designing infrastructure that holds the world together.
Second Nature Lab is where that accumulated knowledge meets the most urgent challenge of our time: climate adaptation
Our Why
Climate change adaptation is no longer a future scenario, it is the context in which we already live.
Extreme weather events, hydrogeological instability, rising sea levels, and prolonged droughts are reshaping territories, economies, and the built environment at a pace that demands a new quality of thinking.
We bring together scientists, engineers, philosophers, planners, and practitioners to build a shared grammar for the future — one grounded in technical rigour, animated by intellectual curiosity, and guided by a long-term sense of responsibility.
