🌍 How is Italy unlocking sustainable progress through data-driven insights? 🤔 Sustainability MDPI Idiano D'Adamo The video explores how Italy is using multicriteria analysis and clustering techniques to assess the economic, environmental and social performance of its regions. By analyzing over 200 indicators related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Equitable and Sustainable Wellbeing (BES) framework, the study provides data-driven insights into which territories are leading the way in achieving sustainable progress. 📈 The analysis reveals that at the SDG level, Lombardia exhibited the highest performance, while the provinces of Trento and Bolzano led at the BES level. The results were further analyzed by geographic macro-areas and the three dimensions of sustainability through separate cluster analyses. 🏆 This data-driven approach allows Italy to identify the strengths and weaknesses across its regions, informing policies and strategies to drive more equitable and sustainable development. 🏆 🔍 Discover the secrets to Italy's sustainable success by watching the full video: https://lnkd.in/gK8PNTkw #SustainableDevelopment #RegionalPerformance #MulticriteriaAnalysis #EconomicGrowth #EnvironmentalProtection #SocialProgress 💡 Are you interested in applying for our free video production service to showcase your own research in this area?

Empowering Flexibility: RomeFlex & MiNDFlex Pilot Programs in Rome and Milan! Rome and Milan are at the forefront of the energy transition with the RomeFlex and MiNDFlex pilot programs, two cutting-edge initiatives that empower local communities to take an active role in managing energy demand and supply. Backed by ARERA’s regulatory support, these projects are creating local flexibility markets that respond to real-time energy needs. This approach helps stabilize the grid, increases the integration of renewable energy, and supports sustainable energy practices across Italy’s largest cities. Using advanced blockchain technology and smart contracts, these programs offer secure, automated transactions, providing full transparency for participants. Providers in Rome and Milan can earn compensation for adjusting their power usage in response to grid needs—whether that means reducing consumption or increasing supply as demand fluctuates. This model not only supports grid resilience but also incentivizes users to manage their energy more actively. In this context, evtrip.net emerges as a critical enabler, providing EV charging solutions that align perfectly with these flexible grid services. By optimizing EV charging to work with local power demands, evtrip.net allows electric vehicles to integrate seamlessly into this new energy ecosystem, supporting a smarter and more sustainable grid. https://lnkd.in/dSSXthXA https://lnkd.in/dXqQhyBi #EnergyTransition #RomeFlex #MiNDFlex #SmartGrid #evtrip #EVCharging #ARERA #RenewableEnergy #Blockchain

#SaveTheDate | "Road to COP: a challenging alignment between climate policy and sustainable development" CMCC Webinar 📅 10 October 2024, 12:00 CEST 🎙️ With: Francesca Larosa (CMCC, KTH) and Francesco Colelli (CMCC). 📕 Since their launch in 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement have suffered persistent mismatches, which limit the potential for mutual gains. The use of Large Language Models to assess the degree and type of alignment between the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the SDGs highlighted two approaches. 👇 While high-income countries tackle the energy-infrastructure-community nexus in terms of opportunity, lower-income countries make climate impacts more explicit and center their narrative on trade-offs around the water-energy-food nexus. These two approaches mark different development trajectories and have non-negligible implications on international financial flow architecture and climate governance.

🎞 Video interview with Roberto Monaco on his research project: "Overcoming Barriers to #Digitalization in Power Distribution Grids: Accelerating the Transition to a Sustainable Future." "I aim to develop new incentives-based regulations that can orient distribution grid operators' investment in digital infrastructure rather than over-expanding the grid. This is particularly useful for national regulatory authorities, which, in this way, can adopt more effective regulatory frameworks." Roberto emphasises this in his project. Roberto's Host Organisation is DTU - Technical University of Denmark. Research Directors: Per Sieverts Nielsen (DTU), Claire Bergaentzlé (DTU) Emmanuel Ackom, PhD (UBC), and Yusheng Xue (SGEPRI). #InnoCyPES is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme (#MSCA) Part of Horizon Europe, the MSCA is the European Union's flagship funding programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training of researchers. The project started in January 2021 and will be completed in December 2024. It is led by Associate Professor Guangya Yang from DTU Wind and Energy Systems. 👉 Read more about InnoCyPES - Innovative Tools for Cyber-Physical Energy Systems: https://innocypes.eu 📹 Watch more InnoCyPES videos on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dpg7iVKD #distributiongrids

𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 The nel law , D.L. Agricoltura, effective from 16 May 2024, redefines the installation of photovoltaic systems on agricultural land. In agricultural area you can Install Agrivoltaic Systems, and for ground are permissible under specific conditions as below. The heart of this legislative revolution lies in Article 5, which introduces a new paragraph 1-bis to Article 20 of Legislative Decree 199/2021. This pivotal change outlines the conditions under which ground-mounted photovoltaic installations are permitted in agricultural zones: - 𝑬𝒏𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏: Existing installations can undergo modifications or upgrades without increasing their footprint. - 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑼𝒏𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔: Photovoltaic systems are allowed on lands once occupied by quarries and mines, now dormant. - 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒔: Areas under the jurisdiction of railway, highway, or airport authorities are suitable for solar installations. - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑰𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆: A novel approach allowing installations within 500 meters of industrial plants, termed as the “Solar Plant Bel.” - 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒙𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔: Agricultural lands within 300 meters of highways are also eligible for photovoltaic projects. 🛡️ Safeguarding Progress: The decree ensures the continuation of: Projects aimed at establishing Renewable Energy Communities (CER), initiatives under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), and ongoing. ps. As the decree moves through Parliament, amendments are expected within the next 60 days.

NEW PUBBLICATION!! by Vladislav Malashevskyy Europe’s Decarbonization and (De)Industrialization While the power generation sector has made significant progress in reducing emissions, with the share of fossil fuels in the EU(27) energy mix decreasing to around 70% in terms of primary energy consumption (figure 1), the industrial sector requires equal attention to achieve the EU’s climate goals. The recent IETA European Climate Summit, which I was able to attend, played a crucial role in highlighting this often overlooked challenge of decarbonizing Europe’s industrial sector while maintaining its competitiveness.

In the "Biodiversity and the Private Sector in Italy" report, we have analyzed corporate practices and financial tools available for companies that want to contribute to biodiversity protection, as well as data from a questionnaire completed by numerous Italian companies. This document, which we are presenting at COP16 in Cali, offers concrete data and practical solutions to help companies integrate biodiversity into their strategies. 📊 The data shows that we are heading in the right direction in Italy, but there is still much to be done: only 25% of companies actively assess their impact on biodiversity, but 48% plan to do so in the next 5 years. And where does your company stand? 📥 Download the report and discover the opportunities for companies that integrate biodiversity into their strategies: https://lnkd.in/dXkTgTPd
