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

Canada's climate has warmed and will warm further in the future. Both observed and projected increases in average temperatures in Canada are about double the corresponding increases in global average temperatures, regardless of the emissions scenario. Annual and seasonal average temperatures

The most important and influential factor on the climate of the Tuscany region is the distance from the sea, which determines a greater or lesser degree of continentality, thus mitigating above all minimum temperatures. Tuscany is not exempt from climate change;

Liguria is a geographical region where some of the most intense and short-lasting rainfall events observed in all of Western Europe occur. Moreover, this complex morphology of the region also intervenes in terms of weather-climate processes, making Liguria a region vulnerable

Veneto has a rather varied climate due to the different morphology of the territory. On the one hand, the Veneto territory represents an asset, on the other, an area characterised by high hydrogeological risks, mainly due to the presence of irregular

The Piedmont region has a very diverse geography and a large number of activities, lifestyles and organisations, making it a region of great complexity. This complexity is also reflected in the climatic field; a careful and correct analysis of climate variability,

Lombardy is an Italian region located in the northern part of the country. The geographical and climatic characteristics of Lombardy are a determining factor for the state and conservation of the region's environmental elements. In this Report, a brief analysis of

Climate change is rapidly modifying the risk scenarios to live with and the frequency of extreme events. Due to its morphological and geological conformation, Emilia-Romagna is the region with the highest surface area exposed to significant hydraulic hazards. Adaptation measures, also known

Morocco is a country highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Due to its geographical location, Morocco is a country that is strongly affected by these changes (desertification, coastal storms and erosion, flooding and reduction of water resources) and its

The Mediterranean basin is considered one of the main scenarios of the current climate change process. The accelerated environmental changes that have taken place since the mid-20th century in this area have made it highly vulnerable to the effects of climate
