Alternative energy and sustainable development: scenarios, challenges and the role of professions

Ongoing climate change and the growing need for energy transition are currently presenting Italy—and particularly southern regions—with crucial choices. Renewable energy—wind, solar, and geothermal—represent a fundamental pillar on which to build a new model of sustainable development. However, these sources are not static: they evolve, improve, and hybridize with new technologies, altering their economic, environmental, and landscape impacts.

The conference aims to provide an up-to-date, multidisciplinary overview of these topics, with a particular focus on the potential of wind, solar, and geothermal energy in Italy; the strategic use of PNRR funds to revitalize alternative energy, reclaim abandoned industrial areas, and improve urban mobility; and the crucial role of technical and scientific professionals, who today are called upon to operate not only with specialized skills but also with economic, financial, planning, and strategic tools.

Daniele Spizzichino, Head of the Geodynamics, Georesources, Hazards, and Impacts of Natural and Induced Events Area at ISPRA, will participate in the conference.
