The State of the Environment in Italy 2025: Indicators and Analysis
The report The State of the Environment in Italy 2025: Indicators and Analysis, produced by the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), provides an updated and integrated overview of the main environmental dynamics in the country. The analysis is based on a selection of indicators drawn from the ISPRA Environmental Indicators Database ( https://indicatoriambientali.isprambiente.it/it ).
Efficiency and decarbonization indicators in Italy and in the biggest European Countries – Edition 2025
National trends of energy and economic indicators have been analysed in relation to greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. The analysis of efficiency and decarbonisation indicators at sectoral level was also carried out, with particular attention to sub-sectors of industry. The role of driving factors for GHGs trends has been analyzed, such as economic growth, fossil and renewable energy, transformation efficiency, carbon and energy intensities.

Indoor air quality and radon risk: review of initiatives and best practices
This Booklet presents a survey of the main initiatives and best practices concerning the promotion of indoor air quality in public and private buildings, with special attention on school buildings. These initiatives include research projects, awareness actions and best practices aimed at improving indoor air quality in buildings, with a focus on initiatives related to indoor radon and interventions to reduce the associated risk.
Indoor air quality and radon risk in Italy and comparable realities: legislation, scientific literature, energy certifications
Radon, classified by the WHO and IARC as a Group 1 human carcinogen, is the second leading cause of lung cancer death after smoking. Under specific conditions, it tends to accumulate in indoor living environments, posing a significant health risk. Occupancy in inadequately designed and constructed buildings with unsuitable materials, and cases where management and maintenance are not performed correctly and consistently, can lead to adverse health effects not only for radon risk but also for elevated levels of chemical and microbiological agents
