The World Challenges the Climate: An Overview on Italy, Delays and Mobilization’s Need

Abstract

Climate change is a global problem that have to be faced globally through mitigation, i.e. the GHG reduction and, locally, through adaptation strategies, since urban areas are the place where biggest impacts are recorded. The alert is serious in Italy: analyzing temperature data can be seen that the Italian peninsula is getting warmer faster than the all planet and all globe mainland. Furthermore, in the last years, extreme events frequency increased due to the hydrogeological vulnerability, wrong urbanistic actions and unauthorized building, which generally characterize the all country. This paper ponders on the European and Italian planning state of art, in climate protection policies terms, and propones a compass with the aim to orientate the ex-novo adaptation strategies’ introduction in Italy, which is still a country that finds hard adapting to these uncertain changes.
