The news is not on the social networks of the Ministry of the Environment and was not even discussed in the press conference at the end/beginning of the year of the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni.Yet the fact that Italy has finally equipped itself with a National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change (PNACC) it should be a source of pride for the government, especially because the previous five executives had failed to do so.The sensation that emerges is that of a commitment completed very late, without great confidence, like an obligation that must be respected and of which we do not share much of the urgency and need. After almost nine years of waiting and disinterest across the political spectrum (Renzi, Gentiloni, Conte, Conte bis, Draghi), the government has finally published the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change.It's a good start and we celebrate it.But the plan has… pic.twitter.com/RffV5SNOQI— Ferdinando Cotugno (@FerdinandoC) January 4, 2024 In the short no...

At the beginning of July, Tesla received permission from the Brandenburg authorities to expand its Grünheide production plant, the largest in Europe.However, there are numerous concerns from environmental activists and the local population, who denounce the huge amount environmental damage and the deprivation of fundamental resources such as water from citizens, in a region already severely affected by drought.According to recent data processing, the development of the current plant has already cost the reduction of 500 thousand trees.To this data is added that of 1.4 million cubic meters of water which the multi-billionaire Elon Musk's company is authorized to use annually, in addition to the fear on the part of the inhabitants of the possible contamination of the groundwater due to the numerous environmental accidents that have already occurred in the plant. Between approximately 2020 and 2023 329 hectares of forest were leveled for the construction of the production plant near...

It has almost reached 50 thousand signatures petition launched on the change.org platform by the Save the Dolomites – Nosc Cunfin group, for the protection of Sassolungo, a mountain peak located in the Dolomites, between Val Gardena and Val di Fassa.This wonder of nature (it is a unique fossil atoll), rich in biodiversity, is in fact threatened by privatization and overbuilding projects devoted to profit.In particular, there is the construction of a new connection system in the pipeline, built as part of the Val Gardena – Alpe di Siusi – Ronda project, through which even more tourists could arrive in this area.The renewal of the cableway leading to the Forcella di Sassolungo is also planned, the capacity of which will be doubled, with the consequent expansion of the mountain station, located in the heart of the massif, which should become up to four times larger.“That means it will have to be a part of the rock face was removed and several cubic meters removed&q...

Lack of interventions to adapt the territory to extreme meteorological events, insufficient safety works with respect to hydrogeological instability, even increased land consumption.Following the severe flood in Emilia-Romagna, a heated debate arose on the interventions that could have avoided the flooding of tens of thousands of homes and the death of 15 people.Above all, we talked about lack of prevention, that is, what has not been done in recent years to make the population safe.And also of bad governance of the territory, or what has been done badly.Meanwhile, on Tuesday 23 May the Council of Ministers approved a law decree which allocates around two billion euros to deal with the emergency:the measure contains a series of indications for the population of the affected areas, including the suspension of the payment of taxes, contributions and energy utilities from 1 May to 31 August, the redundancy fund in derogation for all employees for up to 90 days, and an allowance lump...

With a twist in the middle of summer, the regional council of Emilia-Romagna approved a resolution that removes competence from the regional environmental agency (ARPAE), a technical and independent body which will in fact no longer be able to express its opinion on strategic environmental assessments of municipal urban planning plans.The work of geologists, agronomists or biologists, whose opinion was fundamental in the approval of land transformation interventions, is therefore cancelled.A decision that winks at indiscriminate overbuilding and land consumption, traits now typical of postmodern cities as well as complicit in environmental disasters, such asflood which hit Emilia-Romagna in May.An event that did not deter the majority led by president Stefano Bonaccini from making a decision destined to be talked about, opting for a resolution that allowed it to bypass the legislative process of the Regional Council. As written by Paolo Pileri, professor of territorial p...
