Environmental Education and Training Notebook No. 7/2026,collects the reports of university students who completed a curricular internship at ISPRA in 2024. .

The report outlines Italy’s emissions profile from 1990 to 2024, highlighting ongoing trends and identifying the key factors that influence the evolution of greenhouse gas emissions.

The paper industry in Italy is a sector of excellence that has maintained its attention over the years to all those issues that have been incorporated into the PNRR, in particular the issue of ecology.

ISPRA has published “Educate, Communicate, Connect – The educational format of the LIFE SIC2SIC project,” which retraces an environmental education experience carried out in 48 schools involving more than 4,200 students.

These Guidelines were developed within the framework of major European collaborative initiatives, including the LIFE Programme project Conceptu Maris, and the subsequent After-LIFE roadmap, the Fixed Line Transect -Mediterranean Monitoring Network and the IMPEL FLT-Maritime Transborder Transects networking initiatives.

Recent decades have been characterized by unprecedented positive temperature anomalies at the global, European, and national scales. In addition to a significant rise in average temperatures, there is clear evidence of an increase in the frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme events. Urban environments exhibit heightened vulnerability to climate-change impacts owing to their high population density, complex built infrastructure and concentration of socio‑economic activities, which collectively amplify exposure and sensitivity to thermal stress, hydrometeorological extremes, and related cascading risks.

The document presents Italy’s official reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals, submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement. This document is also submitted to the European Union in accordance with the “Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action” Regulation.

The "Report on ISPRA's technical and scientific support activities to the IPPC Commissionof the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security for the technical documents to state-owned industrial plants (AIA)" represents ISPRA's account of the technical documents for the issuance of state-owned Integrated Environmental Authorizations (AIA).

Environment in Italy: An Overview, 2025 Environmental Data Yearbook is a statistical report that provides an up-to-date and scientifically grounded overview of the state of the environment in Italy. The document uses more than 300 indicators included in the ISPRA Environmental Indicators Database to provide official information for policy makers, administrators, technical experts, and citizens.

The report describes the estimate of atmospheric emissions that Italy officially reports in accordance with the UN Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CRLTAP/UNECE) and the related Protocols for the reduction of emissions of these substances.

The report presents an assessment of the qualitative and quantitative status of water bodies in Italy, based on data from WISE reporting to the European Commission (EC) concerning the River Basin Management Plans of the third implementation cycle of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC. The data were collected with the contribution of River Basin Authorities, Regions, and Regional (ARPA) and Provincial (APPA) Environmental Protection Agencies.

This report presents data relating to sulfur content of heavy fuel oil, diesel fuel, and marine fuels used in Italy in 2024, as required by national legislation (article 298, paragraph 2-bis of Legislative Decree 152/2006).The amounts of different type of fuel examined in this report were determined on the basis of data from operators and inspection authorities. The results of ispection on sulphur content of marine fuels used on board in national territorial seas and sulphur content of fuels in storage facility are also reported.

The 2024 edition of the Report on Hydrogeological Instability in Italy, the fourth dedicated to this topic, updates the national landslide hazard map of the Hydrogeological Planning Plans (PAI), created by ISPRA through the harmonization and mosaicking of the areas defined by the District Basin Authorities, and the risk indicators.

Data that make the difference: synergies and standard monitoring protocols for the management of protected areas
