ISPRA, together with the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome, has organized an advanced training course for personnel responsible for inspections at SEVESO establishments. The launch event will take place in Rome on December 4. The course, which is part of a broader program managed by the newly established ISPRA Academy, aims to provide an opportunity for shared engagement to enhance safety levels and to disseminate the latest developments in safety and security that characterize the current national landscape, such as the assessment of industrial risks associated with climate change and the increasingly complex cyber threat. The goal is to build a broad dialogue which, in a perspective of public–private cooperation, involves stakeholders who, in various capacities, contribute to the management and inspection activities of the establishments, promoting the exchange of experiences with the ultimate objective of improving plant safety, protecting workers, and safeguarding the environment.

World Soil Day 2025
World Soil Day 2025
Dec 05, 2025 — Dec 05, 2025

The World Soil Day is celebrated the 5th december, established by the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly to draw attention to the crucial importance of this vital resource. The theme chosen for the 2025 edition is "Healthy Soils for Healthy Cities," which emphasizes the essential link between soil quality and the well-being of urban populations.

Beneath asphalt, buildings, and roads lies soil that, when permeable and vegetated, helps absorb rainwater, regulate temperature, store carbon, and improve air quality. But when sealed with concrete, it loses these functions, making cities more vulnerable to flooding, global warming, and pollution.

Therefore, this day invites everyone, from politicians to citizens, to rethink urban spaces from the ground up, to build greener, more resilient, and healthier cities.
