Physical and engineering adaptation measures are effective in the face of events such as flooding. However, some of these are too specific to tackle other extreme  events - such as heat waves or pluvial floods - which are expected in the Metropolitan City of Venice. Preparing the Venice lagoon for upcoming challenges means improving the entire system’s resilience by combining different risk management initiatives, including flexible measures that are effective against a wide range of climate hazards. A study by the CMCC Foundation and Ca'Foscari University Venice.

Emissions cuts to 87% across 11 European cities analyzed by using micrometeorological data from 13 measurement stations. Pesaro and Florence are among the cities in which a more consistent reduction of CO2 emissions was observed, while in Amsterdam and London emissions remained low after the lockdown restrictions. The result of a research realized by an international team of scientists and led by a group of ICOS Italia, the Italian network for the monitoring and assessment of greenhouse gases.

Is it possible to improve and enhance maritime transport and, at the same time, contribute to reduce emissions in the field of mobility? The pathway towards a more sustainable ferry transportation can now benefit from a new and effective routing tool. This is thanks to the GUTTA project - savinG fUel and emissions from mariTime Transport in the Adriatic region, funded by the Interreg Italy-Croatia Programme, and coordinated by the CMCC Foundation. The major outcomes of the project were presented today during a workshop open to the public.
