“…It is also interesting to note that about 83.56% of the territory that falls under "Medium High" has agricultural use, leaving a marginal role to others. This suggests the importance of involving a sufficient number of local actors in a synergic and shared way, capable of taking appropriate decisions and measures [57].…”

The adversities of climate change represent a serious risk factor on both food production, rural territories and landscapes. In light of these irreversible trends, the process of adaptation of the rural territory is a necessary step, in order to increase its climate resilience. In this study, the vulnerability assessment was the tool used to evaluate the specific phenomenon of “flooding and backwatering” in the case study of Emilia Romagna region (Italy). The approach was based on the IPCC’s risk analysis methodology, populated by different layers regarding specifical proxies related to the adaptive capacity and the sensitivity of the territory to water stagnation, then we assessed with the normalization process of the different information levels. The aim of the research consisted in the realization of a regional map of the vulnerability to floods and backwaters, in order to rank the territory to this specific phenomenon. The final result could be useful both for the relationship with planning choices and for local-based actions in agricultural policies that in Italy are taken at regional level.

“…The study shows a step-by-step guide on how to develop an approach to identify the GHG balance and the areas with the greatest presence of greenhouse gases that are not absorbed and/or sequestered. Although the use of a more detailed database should allow for the more in-depth knowledge of performance, the proposed methodology permits a relevant assessment at a regional scale, which is mainly useful for policy making and spatial planning decisions [51]. Moreover, the advantage of this approach is the ease with which it can be replicated in other spatial contexts, through the definition of local proxies.…”

This paper aims to analyse the issue of mitigation and the balance of greenhouse gases in the rural contexts of the Emilia–Romagna region (Italy) due to climate change. The approach is based on the experimentation of a methodology, populated by available spatial databases and refined with a series of technical meetings, where it was possible to weigh availability and alternative choices within the identified assessment model. The objective of the research is to create a regional GHG balance map, in order to classify the territory for this specific dynamic. The aim of this approach is supporting policy decisions related to the Common Agricultural Policy at a regional level.

“…Several valuable experiments have been carried out in the last decade in Italy on the topics of circular economy and waste management concerning domestic waste, industrial waste, integration between agro-food production and waste disposal and the conversion of waste into energy [41][42][43][44][45][46].…”

In light of the challenges required by the European Green Deal policies concerning the achievement of climate neutrality by 2050, this paper analyses the suitability of different Italian urban systems for energy consumption and CO2 emission reduction. In anthropised territories, there are strong relationships between energy consumption, climate-changing emissions and settlement patterns. Lands considered low could increase their rating because they have far greater environmental, energy and land resources than more pivotal ones. After an Italian-scale overview of the ecosystem capacities, this paper develops a detailed study of three exemplary areas: the northeast, the northwest, and the central-west coast. The analysis uses Burkhard’s matrix for ecosystem values and the energy consumption 2021 report of the National Energy Authority. The first finding is that the northeast region, characterised by spread and rarefied urbanisation, has a peculiar suitability for climate neutrality. In the results, spread territories perform much better than centralised ones. The coexistence of little urban cores, space for vegetation and a widespread water network promotes synergies for enhancing an ecosystem approach to land design.
