The country is paying the price of too many delays in fighting the crisis climate, adaptation and mitigation strategies, ecological transition.
The economic resources necessary to implement the National Plan for adaptation to climate change, the Pnacc, approved in December 2023, which would allow the implementation of the 361 actions envisaged by the document, should be immediately allocated”.

The environmentalist association invites the government to immediately allocate the necessary resources so that “the country takes the right course to fill the major delays which concern, first and foremost, the fight against the climate crisis and the acceleration of the ecological transition. Italy must believe in the European green deal, must invest in prevention and adaptation strategies to the climate, and accelerate the ecological transition, which today is still too hindered and held back by regulatory delays, bureaucracy, slow authorizations, fake news, Nimby and Nimto syndromes which slow down the reconversion environment of the territories – Ciafani continues – The country must also abandon any short-sighted and distorted vision linked to polluting and obsolete sources such as gas, oil and nuclear. The over 100 construction sites, including stories and good practices, which we have visited and mapped in a year and a half and which we are continuing to tell with our traveling campaign ‘The construction sites of the ecological transition’ are a good testimony to the great ferment and revolution that is already underway in the country”.
