In order to effectively address the problem of climate change, it is necessary to have, in addition to the detailed view of individual regions, a bigger picture, at a national level. Italy is in a peculiar position and is one

The increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events - such as intense rainfall, heat waves, sudden snowfalls and frost - can compromise the functionality and safety of major roads. Such phenomena can cause structural damage, traffic disruptions,

Climate change, defined as the lasting and irreversible change in the Earth's climate, is having a significant impact on southern Italy, manifesting itself in more intense and frequent heat waves, prolonged periods of drought and an increased risk of fires.

The basin of central Campania, an area of about 2200 km² extending between the provinces of Naples, Avellino, Benevento, Caserta, and Salerno, is characterized by high urbanization and high hydrogeological, seismic, and volcanic vulnerability. Given the importance of this area

The reduction of water resources, soil instability, forest fires, land consumption and desertification are some of the risk factors that have affected the entire Mediterranean basin in recent decades, with significant impacts on socio-economic activities. Projections also indicate an acceleration

The climate of the region of Sardinia is typically Mediterranean, i.e., temperatures have a maximum in summer and a minimum in winter, while rainfall follows an exactly opposite pattern, concentrated in two maximum periods in late autumn and spring, separated

Climate change represents one of the most important challenges of this century for the whole of humanity. Some of the changes we are already experiencing are irreversible. However, others can slow down and still others could be stopped or even reversed

Evidence of how the climate is changing on a large scale is reflected in this climate report for the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, which shows that temperature increases in this region are becoming increasingly significant, along with increasing variations in precipitation

Temperature is the climatic parameter that most clearly shows the changes in climate in the Valle d'Aosta region. Although the effects on precipitation are not yet clearly distinguishable from natural climatic variability, the significant increase in temperature during the 20th

The Rif, due to its geographical location and natural predispositions (hilly landscapes, predominantly flysch lithology, contrasting climate with alternating periods of rain and intense drought), is among the Mediterranean mountains one of the most vulnerable to natural disasters. The combination
