Bilateral online Meeting Italy-Greece-Portugal-Spain 16-20th January 2023
Relationship between climate change and indicators of quality of life in Italy
These are the climate changes already happening in our country:
rise of temperatures and sea levels, frequent droughts and fires, change of precipitation patterns, melting of glaciers. To mitigate climate change, we must reduce or prevent man-made emissions of harmful substances.
To prevent the
impacts of climate change, European countries have developed national strategies, policies and measures to mitigate climate change. These include, for example, targets for greenhouse gas emissions in key sectors of the economy, promoting the use of renewable energies and low-carbon fuels or improving the efficiency of buildings.
In Italy there are various forms of pollution, which change the balance of natural ecosystems and cause serious risks to human health. The severity of pollution requires timely and effective local and national government choices and, on an international scale, all European states have to make agreements recognized by all states. The IQAir's World Air Quality Report ranks Italy 67th among countries with the most pollution.
