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

The invasive plant, Phragmites Australis, is a perennial wetland weed that forms dense, almost monoculture stands. It is also known as European reed or common reed. It is native to Eurasia and was probably introduced more than once to North

The Trentino-Alto Adige area has all the characteristics to be a pioneer in the fight against the consequences of climate change, and to maintain the degree of infrastructural resilience that already makes it an example among the regions of the

Sicily is at the centre of an area characterised by a Mediterranean climate, whose progressive warming process is among the most evident, while around 70 per cent of its territory is at risk of desertification. The effects of climate change are
