LIFE Environment and Resource Efficiency
This LIFE priority area is aimed at developing, testing and demonstrating best practices, solutions and integrated approaches to environmental challenges, as well as improving the related knowledge base. To date, the LIFE Environment and Resource Efficiency strand (formerly the LIFE Environment Policy and Governance component) has co-financed 530 projects in Italy, representing a total investment of €964 million, of which €415 million has been provided by the EU. Completed projects mainly targeted areas such as: cleaner technologies (e.g. in the tanning and digital printing sectors); integrated environmental management (EMAS, the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme); urban design; mobility (notably in historic towns) and transport; air quality; water quality, supply and scarcity; eco-friendly products and eco-product design (notably in the shoe sector); site rehabilitation; industrial and hazardous waste; waste recycling; sustainable tourism; risk assessment/management (e.g. in the field of healthcare); renewables energies; packaging and plastic waste; agricultural waste; eco-labelling; the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation/mitigation to climate change; landfilling; environmental accounting; wastewater treatment; energy saving and efficiency; river basin management; sensitive area management (marine litter and prevention of sea pollution in coastal areas); chemicals; sustainable building; biomonitoring; forest management; green public procurement; and soil management/protection (in the viticulture sector). Local and regional authorities, SMEs, research institutions and public enterprises were the main beneficiaries, which also included universities, NGOs, development agencies, parks, large and international enterprises, and professional organisations. The duration of the projects ranged from 12 to 60 months, with an average of 24 to 48 months. There are 58 ongoing projects in Italy under this strand. These cover a wide range of issues, with the main ones being: waste recycling/reduction/use; agricultural waste, transport planning; wastewater treatment; risk assessment and monitoring; air quality management and noise abatement; water quality improvement/scarcity and wastewater treatment; life-cycle assessment; forest management; soil management/protection; human health protection; marine and coastal management; site rehabilitation; natural risks; chemicals; circular economy (in dairy, food, textile and leather industries); and human health protection (hazardous chemicals). The main beneficiaries are research institutes, SMEs, local and regional authorities, universities, international and large enterprises, and development agencies. The duration of the projects is expected to be on average around 40 months. Presented in the box below is an example of a successful LIFE Environment project in Italy. SMART WATER AND SOIL SALINITY MANAGEMENT IN AGRO- WETLANDS (LIFE AGROWETLANDS II) LIFE15 ENV/IT/000423
The LIFE AGROWETLANDS II project devised a decision support system (DSS), based on a prediction model (AquaCrop) developed by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, with the aim of providing recommendations for irrigation for reducing salinisation in soil and water in agricultural wetland ecosystems. The DSS was tested in a pilot farming area located on the northern Italian Adriatic coast that is affected by a high degree of soil salinisation. A permanent wireless sensor network (WSN) was designed and installed in the pilot area to collect data, in real time, about the evolution of soil moisture and salinity, as well as the salinity of water and aquifer depth, and local climatic data. The DSS can be easily operated through a web portal with a user-friendly graphic interface adapted for farmers. Final results demonstrated the reliability of the DSS for monitoring the water status in the target field and for predicting its impact on crop production. The DSS was also shown to be capable of providing irrigation advice consistent with crop water requirements and the water budget. Moreover, results showed that when the DSS recommendation is followed, crop yield and water use efficiency is higher than the current regional system of advice for irrigation – i.e. the IRRINET system. Simulation of irrigation strategies through AquaCrop has shown that irrigation can reduce salinity in agricultural soils. This evidence was, however, not as strong in the field experiments. The irrigation recommendations of the DSS have not been implemented with the necessary precision and continuity, because of the rigidity of the irrigation system adopted, as well as of the water quality and availability. For the practical implementation of the advice of the DSS, farms must have a high degree of technical flexibility, along with an adequate irrigation system. Due to the pandemic, the planned training programme was converted to online self-learning, with original didactic materials produced and made available on the project's website. Health restrictions also led to the cancellation of the final conference, but the beneficiary produced two publications and video (available on the website) to compensate. Local farmers were also involved in the demonstration activities. The collaboration initiated with the Consorzio di Bonifica Canale Emiliano Romagnolo (CER), which devised the IRRINET system, is key to the future sustainability of the project. The IRRINET provides irrigation advice to about 80% of the farmers of the Emilia-Romagna region (RER), and CER is willing to improve this system to address the lack of irrigation indications specifically designed for saline soils. To further develop the project technology, the beneficiary, in partnership with CER and Agrisfera, has responded to a call from the Rural Development Plan of RER. The call concerns the creation of an operational group for investigating typologies of irrigation management that can contribute to controlling the penetration of the saline wedge into the freshwater aquifer. The permanent wireless sensor network installed by the project at the Agrisfera's farm is being used in a follow-on project.

LIFE Nature and Biodiversity
This LIFE priority area is aimed at developing, testing and demonstrating best practices, solutions and integrated approaches to contribute to the development and implementation of nature and biodiversity policy and legislation, as well as improving the related kno wledge base.
To date, the LIFE Nature and Biodiversity component has co-financed 318 projects in Italy. These represent a total investment of €484 million, of which €279.5 million was contributed by the EU.
Completed LIFE Nature projects in Italy have focused on habitats (e.g. mountain habitats, coastal areas, dunes, rivers, forests, wetlands, grasslands, calcareous fens, streams and lakes, Apennine forests, meadows, pastures, and intertidal salt marshes in the Venice lagoon ), reflecting the kinds of biotopes that need to be maintained to achieve a favourable conservation status in Italy. Others have targeted the conservation and restoration of species, such as large carnivores (brown bear and wolf), cetaceans, bats, raptors, loggerhead turtle, lamprey, cartilaginous fish, Olympia ground beetle, the European red squirrel in Umbria, bird species of EU interest, Adriatic sturgeon, wolf in the Alps, scavenger raptors, red deer (in Corsica and Sardinia), sea marigold in Sicily, brown algae in the Cinque Terre, and Italian grey partridge. To halt biodiversity losses projects succeeded in eradicating alien species while enhancing the conservation status of native sp ecies, like in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region where the invasive Louisiana red swamp crayfish was successfully eradicated and the native crayfish populations improved; while in Basso Molise biodiversity is supported by the implementation of integrated conservation actions. Some projects focused on reducing threats to insects by developing an early warning system for containing the Asian predatory wasp or by enhancing monitoring. Threats deriving from human activities were contained by producing techniques which reduced the impacts of ghost fishing gear or by innovating silvicultural treatment to enhance the level of biodiversity in the soil of black pine stands. Prevention of illegal brown bear poisoning was also among the issues tackled.. Some projects contributed to the containment of invasive species, such as the LIFE STOPVESPA project (see detailed results in the box below). One of the most successful projects (awarded Best LIFE project in 2019) coordinated transboundary wolf conservation actions in the Alps (in Italy, France and Slovenia). The project beneficiaries were mainly parks and reserves, local and regional authorities, and NGOs, but also included national authorities, public enterprises, universities and develo pment agencies. Project durations ranged from 24 to 66 months, with an average of 36 to 48 months. There are 50 ongoing projects in Italy. These are focused on the conservation and restoration of habitats : coastal dunes/lagoons, forests (alluvial, Mediterranean), reefs, grasslands and rivers; and the conservation and restoration of endangered species: Mediterranean brown trout, sea turtles, griffon vulture in Sardinia, Bonelli’s eagle, Egyptian and griffon vultures, Lanner falcon in Sicily, butterflies, ribbed limpet, barbel fish populations, orchids, lesser kestrel, marbled duck, seabirds, Italian spadefoot, red kite, crayfish, European eel, Sicilian fir, and orchid species. Some projects have more specific objectives, such as demonstrating a system for the reduction of collisions between vehicles and wildlife; reducing fragmentation of the aquatic and hydrophilic ecosystems of canals through smart management; reducing dolphin mortality caused by fishing activities; and boosting pollination in rural/urban areas. The beneficiaries are mainly local authorities and national/regional parks, but also include regional and local authorities, NGOs, universities, research institutes, and a public enterprise. The projects have expected durations of between 30 and 114 months, with an average of 60 months. Spatial containment of Vespa velutina in Italy and establishment of an Early Warning and Rapid Response System (LIFE STOPVESPA) LIFE14 NAT/IT/001128
The Asian yellow-legged hornet, Vespa velutina, is an Invasive Alien Species (IAS) of Union concern (Regulation EU 1143/2014) that causes serious impacts on honey bees, native insect species and pollination services. The species had invaded Italy in 2012, and by 2015 it had colonised a wide portion of Imperia district (western part of Liguria), while a low-density population has established in Cuneo district (southern part of Piedmont). The LIFE STOPVESPA project strongly contributed to the containment of the species as shown by the decreased rate of spread (from 18 km/year before the beginning of the project to about 3 km/year at the end of the project, whereas the spread rate in France is about 78 km/year) and of the colonising rate in the western part of Liguria (from 310 km2/year to 110 km2/year). Moreover, the distribution of nests detected in the last project year confirms the containment of Vespa velutina (98% of the detected nests in Ligura region in the last year of the project were located inside the area already colonised by the species in 2015). The spatial containment of yellow-legged hornet was carried out thanks to the establishment of a monitoring network of beekeepers, citizens and local authorities (Civil Protection and firefighters), coordinated by the project for the detection and destruction of the nests. The network of beekeepers at the start of the project was constituted of 40 bottler traps, whereas it was constituted of 1 691 bottle traps positioned in 914 monitoring sites in the last two years of the project. Moreover, the project developed new tools for the management of the species, namely two harmonic radar prototypes able to track the hornets for detecting nests position; these prototypes allow a real time tracking of the fly of the hornets in complex environments, with a maximum detection range of 500 m from the radar. The two prototypes resulted efficient both in invaded areas and new outbreaks and they are available for their use after the end of the project. A total of 2 205 nests were detected during the project implementation, of these 1 871 nests (85%) were directly removed thanks to the LIFE STOPVESPA strategy, which involved monitoring and destroyers’ teams of the project together with the collaboration of Civil Defence Teams. Nest removal contributing to saving 76 million honey bees and native insects, since the timely nest destruction prevented the predation of these species by V. velutina workers. In addition, the number of saved insects generated complementary benefits on pollination ecosystem services and honey production. Hence, it is possible to estimate the quantity of honey in theory produced by not preyed bees: from 34 tons to 115 tons. Assuming that 1 kg of honey has a mean commercial v alue of about five euros, it could be estimated that the removal of V. velutina colonies prevented an impact on honey production between €172 000 and €573 000. The project developed an effective Early Warning Rapid Response System based on: 1) A widespread surveillance network able to quickly detect the presence of the species, with the involvement of beekeepers and their Associations; 2) Strategies for the control of the species in new outbreaks (e.g. rapid nest detection and destruction, trapping networks); 3) Strategies and procedures for the management of the species in the colonised areas.

LIFE Environmental Governance and Information
This priority area is aimed at raising awareness of environmental matters, supporting the communication, management and dissemination of environmental information, and promoting better environmental governance by broadening stakeholder involvement. This strand (formerly the LIFE+ Information and Communication component) has co-financed 33 projects in Italy so far. This represents a total investment of €54.5 million, of which €30.5 million was provided by the EU.
The completed projects raised awareness on the following themes: climate change and its impacts; green public procurement; olive industry waste; waste management and use; water and energy consumption in urban areas; over-exploitation of marine resources and fishing discards; agriculture in Natura 2000 sites; wastewater treatment; illegal killing of protected wild birds in Italy, Greece and Spain; citizens’ impact on biodiversity; food waste prevention; Natura 2000 network to local communities; and marine litter (awareness-raising and empowerment on its removal and prevention). The completed projects were implemented by municipalities, research institutions, regional authorities, a university, NGOs and an SME. The 17 ongoing projects aim to: support the application of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and EU biodiversity policy relating to marine litter; limit the spread and impact of Invasive Alien Species in Italy through public awareness and participation ; maximise the collection of WEEE in Tuscany, Italy, and Andalusia, Spain, by implementing a new governance model based on the involvement of businesses and awareness-raising activities among citizens; promote citizen participation in the protection of biodiversity in Italy’s Natura 2000 ne twork, by focusing on bicycling; disseminate good practices for the adoption of Minimum Environmental Criteria in the field of cultural activities; carry out activities that support the restoration of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows that have been destroyed by infrastructural marine works; prevent and reduce plastic waste in five Italian and German lakes; protect wild bees and other pollinators in the Mediterra nean; target consumers and producers to support the launch and spread of the PEF method and of the PEF (Product Environmental Footprint)-based Made Green in Italy scheme; rethink municipal tariff systems to improve urban waste governance; show a red card to poor environmental management governance by national football associations; prevent food waste; define strategies and best practices for port noise management, especially near cities; encourage the exchange of knowledge and good practice for the management of biodiversity of forest habitats in Natura 2000 sites; evaluate the potential impact of chemical substances in Europe, before and after REACH, by integrating experimental data on registered substances into computer data processing (in -silico) tools; apply the FAO’s volunteer guidelines for sustainable soil management in a Mediterranean context (Italy, France, Croatia); improve public administrations governance in the forest and environmental sector to comply with EU legislation; and promote conservation of three semi-natural habitats (semi-natural dry grasslands, pseudo-steppe and Nardus grasslands), through encouraging grazing by hardy breeds threatened by genetic erosion. The projects, which are operated during an average period of 36 to 49 months, are implemented by parks, local authorities, research institutes and a professional organisation. Presented in the box below is an example of a successful LIFE Environmental Governance and Information project in Italy.
Clean Sea Life (Clean Sea Life) LIFE15 GIE/IT/000999
The Clean Sea Life project was implemented in several coastal Italian regions, although most of the Fishing for Litter activities were concentrated in the Adriatic Sea where the problem of marine litter is most serious.
The project achieved following results:
170 000 people, of several stakeholders categories, were engaged in 2 000 clean-ups and dissemination events; Nearly 1 000 clean-up operations on beaches and on the seafloor, large or small, of which half were organised by the stakeholders themselves. These resulted in 112 tons of waste and plastic garbage removed. The largest underwater clean-up event ever organised in Italy, the "Operation Spazzamare", involved hundreds of fishermen, military and civilian divers, removing 92 tons of waste from the seafloor; 34 million people were reached by the project’s awareness-raising campaign on national TV; More than 20 000 people and a total of 685 stakeholders took the project’s Pledge to the Sea; 283 monitoring activities on beaches and the seabed were carried out using the Clean Sea Life protocol, and helped to identify major sources of marine litter and the areas most affected; Training webinars were followed by a total of 267 teachers, environmental guides and officers of Carabinieri Forestali, more than doubling the targets of this capacity building activity. Furthermore, 248 school classes and over 5 000 students followed the marine litter classes; Clean Sea Life staff attended 84 meetings, including scientific meetings; Project activities inspired a national law banning microbeads, a draft law to facilitate Fishing for Litter activities and 6 local regulations banning balloon release. Moreover, the staff assisted authorities to apply EU laws, prosecuting a marine litter spill event; Replication was pursued throughout the project, by increasing the number of actors that committed to new procedures reducing littering, increasing clean-ups and reducing single-use items; It was estimated that about 100 000 people have been visiting the travelling eight travelling exhibitions organised by the project.

Sub-programme for Climate Action (LIFE 2014-2020)
LIFE Climate Change Mitigation and LIFE Climate Change Adaptation The Climate Change Mitigation priority area is helping to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, notably by contributing to the implementation and development of related policy and legislation, improving the knowledge base, developing integrated approaches, and developing and demonstrat ing innovative technologies, systems, methods and instruments. To date, the Climate Change Mitigation strand has co-financed 20 projects in Italy. These aim to: demonstrate the contribution that the connection of agricultural systems
to milk production can make to climate change mitigation; demonstrate the minimisation of energy consumption and CO2 and NOx emissions in an intermittent ceramic kiln; contribute to EU climate change objectives by helping to reduce GHG emissions from the sheep farming sector and dairy supply chain in Sardinia; demonstrate an innovative industrial process for the production of low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants for industrial refrigeration and air conditioning; demonstrate the technical feasibility of a near-to-zero global warming potential natural refrigerant; foster the adoption by EU farmers of innovative and efficient cropping systems; demonstrate a new generation of highly-efficient district heating networks; substitute synthetic fluorinated refrigerants in the commercial refrigeration sector; demonstrate the use of Posidonia seagrass meadows as carbon sinks in the Mediterranean; introduce sustainable soil management techniques in agro-environmental systems; green the ice-cream sector through low-GWP refrigerants; implement a new participatory model of forest management; provide the glass production industry with a new technology that reduces waste gas heat losses; implement the EU Strategy on Heating and Cooling by improving the efficiency o f heat exchange between energy-intensive industries and their surroundings; promote and enhance forest ecosystems through different Ecosystem Services aiming to increase Carbon Stock; and optimise the drying
process of ceramic manufacturing, reducing energy consumption and GHG (CO2) emissions while preserving product quality. Four projects are closed as of May 2021. The LIFE FoResMit project defined guidelines of good silvicultural practices for the restoration of peri-urban degraded coniferous forests in Italy and Greece, improving their ecological stability and climatic change mitigation potential. The LIFE RE Mida project demonstrated the technical and economic viability of two technologies implemented for the biological oxidation of landfill biogas with low calorific value. The OLIVE4CLIMATE – LIFE project developed an integrated approach to the production of extra virgin olive oil, based on an assessment of the carbon footprint of all the processes involved, which was tested on olive farms in three Mediterranean countries (Italy, Greece and Israel). The LIFE-DIADEME project implemented full-scale smart lightning systems in Roma, Piacenza and Rimini. The Climate Change Adaptation priority area is supporting efforts to increase resilience to climate change, in particular by contributing to the implementation and development of related policy and legislation, improving the knowledge base, developing integrated approaches, and developing and demonstrating innovative technologies, systems, methods and instruments. To date, the Climate Change Adaptation strand has co-financed 18 projects in Italy. These aim to: analyse rainfall phenomena related to climate change and demonstrate its impact in the municipality of Bologna; prepare desertification areas for increased climate change; reduce the vulnerability and increase the resilience of alpine pasture agriculture; tackle the effects of climate change on agriculture in the Po Plain; optimise an innovative technological platform for monitoring the ecosystem services of Urban Green Areas (UGAs); mainstream adaptation strategies and measures in the development of a territorial plan for the Metropolitan City of Milan; increase the resilience the climate change impacts of urban areas in the Simeto Valley; demonstrate the viability of the use of drystone agricultural terraces as an adaptation measure to climate change; spread and encourage the use of ventilated and permeable roofs (VPRs) as an effective solution for cl imate adaptation and mitigation; and implement a public- private partnership between insurers, public administrations, scientific institutes and producer organisations to increase farmers adaptive capacity. Six projects are closed as of May 2021. LIFE HEROTILE successfully developed innovative roof tiles that can passively remove heat , so reducing energy consumption for the cooling of buildings by up to 50%. The tiles were introduced into the market soon after the project ended. The Life SEC Adapt proj ect contributed to a territorially coherent implementation of the EU Climate Adaptation Strategy in a very large area (Adriatic-Ionian Region), directly involving 20 municipalities. The LIFE IRIS project elaborated a climate change risk assessment methodology and applied it to the industrial clusters of Bomporto and Ostellato in Emilia-Romagna and to the brewery supply chain of Carlsberg in Lombardia. The LIFE DERRIS project successfully tested an innovative model of public-private partnership between insurers, public administrations and SMEs to increase urban resilience to climate change, including through risk reduction tools for SME s. The LIFE PRIMES project drew up integrated baseline scenarios up to 2050 using data from 1961 to 2015, achieving a common baseline climate scenario for three Italian regions. RainBO Life successfully developed a system based on advanced measurement tools and a communication platform, in order to reduce flood risks and support the resilience of local c ommunities. LIFE MASTER ADAPT developed and tested innovative multi-level governance tools to help regions and local authorities define and develop climate change adaptation strategies and policies (see results in the box below). All above-mentioned projects represent a total investment of €91.5 million, of which the EU is contributing €51.5 million. The beneficiaries of these projects are development agencies, large and international enterprises, regional and local authorities, park authorities, SME, a professional organisation, universities and research institutes. The projects have durations of 33 to 70 months.
MAinSTreaming Experiences at Regional and local level for adaptation to climate change (LIFE MASTER ADAPT) LIFE15 CCA/IT/000061
LIFE MASTER ADAPT provided a common methodology for mainstreaming adaptation, which addressed the needs of groups of towns or cities sharing the same vulnerabilities, and having a similar capacity to respond to climate change. The main results consisted of steering documents and guidelines on climate vulnerability and risk assessment, based on the latest scientific evidence on the effects of climate change, intended for administrators and technicians of regions and cities. Another important result was the direct involvement of numerous stakeholders in developing methods to integrate adaptation policies into sectoral plans and programmes.
The project was conceived when Italy had adopted the National Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change (SNAC) in June 2015. Among the Regions, only Lombardy had its own regional strategy and was preparing to draw up an action plan for its implementation. After the LIFE MASTER ADAPT funding was granted, Italy began drafting the National Adaptation Plan. Thanks to a collaboration established with the Italian Ministry of the Environment, the tools produced by the project, in particular the Guidelines for drafting regional adaptation strategies, were transferred into the national process to give a new push to the implementation of the National Adaptation Plan to Climate Change. The project team developed and mainstreamed 10 adaptation measures at regional level in the Lombardy Adaptation Plan. With the use of the developed tools, the Sardinia Region approved its Regional Strategy of Adaptation to Climate Change (SRACC), as a mainstreaming strategy.
The project developed and supplied a common methodology to support the identification of the main vulnerabilities and action priorities to ensure an effective regional and local application of the Italian National Adaptation Strategy; and prepared and provided the regions with a methodology to optimise mainstreaming into other policy areas. It provided guidelines for adaptation governance in urban areas to optimise coordination with urban planning and the development of private/public partnerships; boosted the adoption process of the National Plan of Adaptation to climate change, following the adoption of the Guidelines for Regional Strategies by the Conference of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces; and provided guidance, with a focus on metropolitan cities and aggregation of municipalities, to incentivise the integration of adaptation in large area planning tools, such as the Covenant of Mayors. In north Milano (Seveso river basin) partners met representatives (at political and technical levels) of the municipalities to identify the most appropriate local policy instruments. In particular, cooperation with the local “Contratto di Fiume” (River Contract) enabled interaction with the local Urban and Spatial Planning policies, regulations on Green Public Areas, Parks’ plans, and Risk and Emergency plans.

LIFE Climate Governance and Information The Climate Governance and Information priority area is promoting awareness-raising on climate matters, supporting the communication, management and dissemination of climate information, promoting more effective compliance with climate legislation, and encouraging better climate governance by broadening stakeholder involvement.
To date, the Climate Governance and Information strand has co-financed six projects in Italy. LIFE SU-EATABLE aims to reduce carbon emissions in the EU through sustainable diets. LIFE BEWARE will implement the EU strategy on adaptation to climate change in regards to flood risks by increasing water infiltration and storage in urban and rural areas. LIFE DICET will support policymakers at EU and Member State levels in deepening international cooperation for the development and possible integration of carbon markets. LIFE CLIVUT will develop an urban green asset strategy for Mediterranean medium-size cities and implement it in four pilot cities: two in Italy, one in Greece and one in Portugal. The total investment for those projects amounts to €9 million, of which the EU contributes €5 million. The projects are being coordinated by universities, a large enterprise and a local authority, over durations ranged between 28 and 46 months.
As of end of May 2021, two projects are closed. LIFE SIDE aimed to support EU and Member State policymakers in contributing to the design and implementation of the new EU emissions trading system (ETS) legislation; LIFE FRANCA increased the resilience of communities in Alpine regions facing climate change-related risk, by raising awareness of flood risk through better communication between administrators and citizens, by performing exercises with both, and by organising dissemination and educational activities for citizens and students (more detailed achievements can be found in the box below).
Flood Risk ANticipation and Communication in the Alps (LIFE FRANCA) LIFE15 GIC/IT/000030
The LIFE FRANCA project explored new approaches to communicating climate change risks that increased the awareness of multiple stakeholders. This communication and participation strategy was suited to the needs and responsibilities of the different stakeholders. The project developed an "anticipatory" flood risk management model, in line with EU policies, which refers to the need to develop processes with which individuals and institutions can co operate to satisfy common interests and reconcile conflicting ones. For this reason, the LIFE FRANCA team initiated a complex action to prepare the population to live with natural dangers, in particular flood events, based on a participatory process between citizens, specialists and decision-makers. The aim was to develop a widespread sense of public and private co-responsibility. Participatory processes are seen as an effective way of strengthening trust in institutions and the resilience of communities . The projects new anticipation approach proved to be particularly useful in preparing communities for the conditions envisaged by climate models, which predict an increase in the frequency and/or intensity of flood events. Such natural changes create uncertainty in society. Therefore, when developing effective policies it is necessary to take social changes into consideration together with natural hazards. Project actions also fostered dialogue between professionals from different disciplines. LIFE FRANCA increased the resilience of communities in Alpine regions facing climate change-related risk, by raising awareness of flood risk through better communication between administrators and citizens, by performing exercises with both, and by organising dissem ination and educational activities for citizens and students.

LIFE Integrated Projects for the Environment
This LIFE priority area is aimed at implementing on a large territorial scale (regional, multi-regional, national, trans-national) environmental or climate plans or strategies required by specific EU environmental or climate legislation, primarily in the areas of nature, water, waste, air and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Integrated projects ensure the involvement of stakeholders and promote the coordination with and mobilisation of at least one other relevant EU, national or private funding source. To date, four Integrated Projects have been co-financed in Italy, three for the Environment and one for Climate Action. The LIFE IP GESTIRE 2020 project is being coordinated by the Lombardia region and will run for a period of 96 months. The project aims to create an integrated management structure that will ensure the achievement of the conservation objectives set out in the Habitats and Birds Directives, taking into account the economic and technical sustainability of the management. PREPAIR, coordinated by the Emilia- Romagna region and running over a 78-month period, aims to implement actions in the territory of the Po Valley and Slovenia to improve air quality and comply with Directive 2008/50/EC and the European strategy ‘Clean Air for Europe’ (see its detailed objectives in the box below). The Zero Emission LIFE IP project will be a catalyst for the development of a fully zero-emission road transport and mobility system along the Brenner corridor (a main European traffic axis) and in neighbouring regions. The project is coordinated by a private company (SASA) and has a duration of 96 months. LIFE IMAGINE UMBRIA’s main objective is to create an integrated management system to achieve the conservation objectives of the EU’s Habitats and Birds Directives in an economically and technically sustainable way. The project coordinator is the Umbria Region. The total investment of these projects amounts to €69 million, of which the EU contributes €37.5 million. Po regions engaged to policies of air (PREPAIR) LIFE15 IPE/IT/000013
The PREPAIR project will contribute to achieving compliance with the National Emission Ceilings Reduction Commitments. The general objectives are to: Implement measures included in the Air Quality Plans (AQPs) and in the Po Valley Agreement, creating the information needed for a preliminary assessment of their impact on air quality; Increase know-how and reinforce capacity building within public authorities and private operators; Strengthen coordination among Po Basin authorities in the field of air quality; Establish a permanent networking structure that involves the environmental agencies of the Po Valley and of the eastern border regions and Northern Adriatic basin, such as Slovenia; Produce homogeneous assessment reports on the effectiveness of PREPAIR concrete actions on air quality in the Po Valley and the Northern Adriatic basin; Assess the effectiveness and resources needed for measures to improve air quality; Create a community that recognises the risks for human health and for the environment posed by air pollution; and Create a network of national, regional and local governments, socioeconomic actors, research centres and other stakeholders.
The actions proposed will contribute to the improvement of air quality on a wide scale. Other European regions with similar geographical and environmental characteristics will be able to replicate them in their territories.
The PREPAIR LIFE project focuses on four main areas – biomass burning, energy efficiency, transport and agriculture – in line with the Po Basin Agreement and the AQPs.
