Methodologies, information and environmental indicators

The event will be an opportunity for an analysis of the characteristics of the new European legislative framework on sustainable finance, within which tools have been introduced to reorient private sector investments towards sustainable activities.

The implementation of the legislation will lead to an expansion of the subjects involved in sustainability reporting which will go from the current 11,700 to around 50,000 companies at a European level and from around 200 companies to more than 4,000 at an Italian level.

May 09, 2024 09:30 AM — May 09, 2024 01:30 PM Roma, Sala del Chiostro del Bramante - Facoltà di Ingegneria, Università Sapienza, Via Eudossiana, 18

The latest edition of the ISPRA publication "Greenhouse gas emissions in Italy" is online. Reduction objectives for 2030".

The trend in greenhouse gas emissions is decreasing and, thanks to the growth in recent years of energy production from renewable sources (hydroelectric and wind) and the transition to the use of fuels with lower carbon content, in 2022 they will mark a - 21% since 1990.

Despite the positive trend, greenhouse gas emissions in Italy in the last two years continue to grow and reach a total of 413 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2022 (+0.4% compared to 2021). The constant increase in the transport sector is decisive, over 90% of whose emissions come from road transport, which compared to the previous year marks a +5% and confirms a trend that knows no pauses and exceeds 7% since 1990, a value in contrast to those of all other economic sectors which on the contrary recorded marked reductions, with the exception of waste which represents approximately 5% of the national total.
