The National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change (PNACC) was created with the aim of providing a national framework for the implementation of actions to minimize the resulting risks.
Climate change represents and will represent in the future one of the most relevant challenges to be faced globally and in Italy.
Italy is in the so-called ‘Mediterranean hot spot’, an area identified as particularly vulnerable to climate change.
Moreover, the national territory is notoriously subject to natural hazards (instability phenomena, floods, coastal erosion, water shortages) and it is already evident how rising temperatures and the intensification of extreme events connected to climate change (droughts, heat waves, winds, intense rainfall, etc.) amplify these risks and their economic, social, and environmental impacts are destined to increase in the coming decades.
