DESCRIPTION:Today\, at the ISPRA headquarters in Rome\, the 2024 edition o
 f the Report "Land consumption\, territorial dynamics and ecosystem servic
 es" has been presented by the National System for Environmental Protection
  (SNPA)\, which ensures the monitoring activities of the territory and lan
 d consumption.   The loss of ecosystem services linked to land consumption
  is not only an environmental problem\, but also an economic one: in 2023 
 the reduction of the "sponge effect"\, i.e. the ability of the soil to abs
 orb and retain water and regulate the hydrological cycle\, according to es
 timates\, it costs the country over 400 million euros per year. An "expens
 ive soil" that comes alongside the other costs caused by the loss of ecosy
 stem services due to the decrease in habitat quality\, the loss of agricul
 tural production\, carbon storage or climate regulation.   Overall\, land 
 consumption still remains too high\, although with a slight decrease compa
 red to the previous year and continues to advance at the rate of approxima
 tely 20 hectares per day\, covering new 72.5 km2 (a surface area as large 
 as all the buildings in Turin \, Bologna and Florence). A lower growth com
 pared to last year's figure\, but which is still above the ten-year averag
 e of 68.7 km2 (2012-2022) and only partially compensated by the restoratio
 n of natural areas (just over 8 km2\, due in largely to the recovery of co
 nstruction site areas).   On the occasion of the presentation of the Repor
 t\, the winning images of the 2024 Photo Contest " One shot to tell the st
 ory of change " will be presented.    Program     Video     Photo gallery
