National report on soil consumption, territorial dynamics and ecosystem services - edition 2019
21st September 2019
ISPRA will presents nthe new data on soil consumption in Italy and the 2019 edition of the Report of the National System for Environmental Protection. With a 180% increase in soil consumption from the 1950s to the present, the natural surface in Italy is reducing every year, increasing the negative effects on the territory, environment and the landscape. The contribution of the research, in addition to monitoring the trend of the phenomenon and the related environmental damage, is important for new planning perspectives and to provide tools and criteria useful for sustainable planning of urban areas.
In collaboration with Scienza Insieme and as part of the MAXXI event "Living science. For a more sustainable future", the event will be enriched by two photographic exhibitions: "Italy loses ground" report by Angelo Antolino with images from land consumption by ISPRA and "Green in the city for a more sustainable and resilient future".
