Environment Policy and Governance To date, the LIFE Environment and LIFE+ Environment Policy and Governance components have co-financed 409 projects in Italy. These projects represent a total investment of €684 million, of which €267 million has been contributed by the European Union.

Completed projects mainly targeted areas such as: clean technologies; integrated environmental management; urban design, mobility and transport; air quality; water quality and supply; eco-friendly products and eco-product design (notably in the shoe sector); site rehabilitation; industrial and hazardous waste; sensitive area management; sustainable tourism; risk assessment; packaging and plastic waste; agricultural waste; eco-labelling; the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to climate change; landfilling; environmental accounting; and waste water treatment. 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 153 ongoing projects in Italy under the LIFE+ Environment Policy and Governance component.

These projects cover a wide range of issues, with the main ones being: waste management (municipal, industrial, agricultural and hazardous) and reduction; climate change adaptation (reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and energy saving); urban design, transport and mobility; waste water treatment; integrated environmental management; risk assessment/management (notably in the field of healthcare) and pollution control; air quality management and noise abatement; clean technologies; agriculture; water quality and resources; industry/production (non-metallic minerals, leather products, food & beverages, textiles, chemicals and wood); sensitive area management; life-cycle assessment; WEEE; and energy supply. The main beneficiaries are mainly research institutes, SMEs, local and regional authorities, universities, international and large enterprises, a development agency, an NGO and a training centre. The duration of the projects is expected to be between 24 and 60 months, with an average of 36 to 48 months.

Presented in the box below is an example of a successful LIFE Environment project in Italy. This project was selected as one of the 17 "Best" LIFE Environment projects that closed in 2012.

Tool for regional - scale assessment of groundwater storage improvement in adaptation to climate change (TRUST) LIFE07/ENV/IT/000475 The TRUST project employed advanced technologies to define solutions for ensuring a sustainable water balance in the study area, in view of future climate change. To this end, the project took a number of steps to improve stakeholder involvement in river-basin management. A Technical Board was established, including the main stakeholders concerned with groundwater management and exploitation. Agreements with stakeholders were signed for the provision of data and the implementation of flow monitoring campaigns and Managed Aquifer Recharge demonstrations. A Web GIS database was developed and populated with all the hydrological and hydro-geological data used and produced in the project, as well as with the modeling results. Since the project ended, the coordinating beneficiary and the stakeholders have been using the database in the planning and management of water resources in the Veneto and Friuli regions.

The project also performed simulations of climate change scenarios using the CMCC climate models. This modelling exercise found that in the study area, the land temperature could increase by approximately 5°C by the end of the century, especially during the summer season, and that this would be accompanied by a reduction in rainfall (about ~ 0.5 mm/day towards the end of the century). The forecasted climate change scenarios were used to quantify the water deficits until the end of the century for the irrigation of summer crops, based on remote sensing and GIS-based modeling techniques.

The project also developed an innovative hydrological model to estimate the flows of the rivers that feed the aquifer in the study area, and the variations of river flows induced by future climate scenarios. It found that the river flows will increase in the winter and decrease in the summer, spring and autumn seasons. A groundwater model was developed to analyse the variations in the hydrogeological balance. Additionally, the effectiveness of Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) techniques was tested at demonstration sites to verify the effect of different land cover, lithology and irrigation techniques. The modeling simulations showed that by the end of the century the annual aquifer recharge could be reduced by 7% in Veneto and by 11% in Friuli.

A Regional Risk Assessment was conducted to determine the areas affected by the risks of a water deficit for irrigation and nitrate pollution of groundwater. The tool showed that the impact on water availability for irrigation could be significant: 50% of the agricultural areas at risk fell into the High to Very High risk category, mainly concentrated in the Friuli region.

Nature and Biodiversity To date, the LIFE Nature component and LIFE Nature and Biodiversity components have co-financed 250 projects in Italy. These projects represent a total investment of €296 million, of which €165 million has been contributed by the European Union.

Completed LIFE Nature projects in Italy have focused on coastal habitats, mountain habitats, dunes, rivers, forests, wetlands, grasslands and calcareous fens, reflecting the kinds of biotopes that need to be maintained to achieve a favourable conservation status in Italy. The projects also aimed at the conservation and restoration of species, such as: large carnivores (the brown bear and the wolf), cetaceans, bats, raptors and the loggerhead turtle. The project beneficiaries were mainly parks and reserves, local and regional authorities, and NGOs, but also included national authorities, public enterprises, universities and development agencies.

Project durations ranged from 24 to 66 months, with an average of 36 to 48 months.

There are 80 ongoing projects under the LIFE Nature and LIFE+ Nature and Biodiversity components of the LIFE+ programme in Italy. These projects focus on the conservation and restoration of habitats (e.g. dry grasslands, coastal wetlands, dunes and lagoons, Appenine forests, meadows, pastures and intertidal salt marshes in the Venice lagoon), on the eradication of invasive species (e.g. the Louisiana Red swamp) and on the conservation and restoration of endangered species (large carnivores, birds, cetaceans, cartilaginous fish, the Corsican red deer, the Olympia ground beetle, trout, loggerhead, pond and sea turtles). Other projects have very specific objectives, including: to set-up a Pan-Alpine ecological network; to monitor insects, involving public participation; to restore connectivity in the Pô river basin for the Adriatic surgeon and other native fish species; and to coordinate transboundary wolf conservation actions in the Alps (Italy, France and Slovenia).

The biodiversity projects will, among others: set up an innovative and user-friendly indicator system for biodiversity in groundwater dependent ecosystems; control and eradicate the invasive exotic plant species, Ailanthus altissima, in the Alta Murgia National Park; and develop techniques to reduce the impacts of ghost fishing gear and to improve biodiversity in the north Adriatic coastal areas. The beneficiaries are mainly local authorities and parks, but also include regional and national authorities, NGOs, universities, a research institute, a public enterprise and a training centre. The projects have an expected duration of between 30 and 85 months.

Presented in the box below is an example of a successful LIFE Nature project in Italy.

Management of the network of pSCIs and SPAs in the Cilento National Park (CILENTO IN RETE) LIFE06/NAT/IT/000053 The CILENTO IN RETE project succeeded in drawing up a coherent management plan covering all 16 Natura 2000 sites in the Cilento National Park. The plan was subsequently approved by the Campania Region.

A number of conservation actions were also successfully implemented:, such as: the establishment of “old growth” stands for the benefit of rare fauna species linked to mature mountain beech forests; the protection of dune habitats with fences and pathways; the use of metal grids to protect caves hosting bat colonies; tree thinning in coastal pine forests and the plantation of local plant species to conserve dune habitats; and reducing negative impacts on Neptune grass beds (two mooring areas were developed to limit the damage done by ships' anchors and an underwater trail was established to confine tourist activity).

In addition, the beneficiary erected information panels in the national park as part of a programme to raise awareness on local environmental issues. The fact that the management plans for all sites were officially approved by the regional administration should guarantee the future continuation of activities and the consolidation of the project's achievements.

Information and Communication The projects funded under this component aim to disseminate information and raise the profile of environmental issues.

They also provide training and awareness-raising on the prevention of forest fires.

To date, four projects have been completed under the LIFE+ Information and Communication component in Italy. One project (GPPinfoNET) facilitated networking among local public administrations of nine regions with the aim of addressing information gaps and sharing solutions and strategies for overcoming obstacles to the implementation of Green Public Procurement. Another project, LIFE Olèico+, raised awareness among olive industry operators of the environmental damage caused by the careless disposal of olive waste, and built an effective dialogue between research centres, industry and policy makers on the adoption of suitable economic and environmental technologies. The third project, RACES, successfully targeted teachers, pupils and citizens in five Italian cities (Firenze, Trentino, Modena, Potenza and Bari), increasing their awareness of climate change and its impacts, promoting environmentally-friendly lifestyles and consumption habits, and widely disseminating information on the EU 20-20-20 package. The last project, PROMISE, implemented four communication campaigns to increase awareness of the different actors that can reduce environmental impacts associated with products, their production, distribution, use and disposal. These projects represents a total investment of € 5,5 million, of which the EU has contributed €3 million. The projects were coordinated by a regional authority, two local authorities and a research institute. Their duration ranged from26 to 28 months.

There are currently eight ongoing projects under this component. The objectives of these projects include: promoting sustainable water management in urban areas; increasing waste separation and collection and creating an innovative collaboration model between the public Administration and the private sector for its implementation; addressing the problem of over-exploitation of marine resources and fishing discards by promoting a more sustainable use of the sea and by improving the protection of marine biodiversity in the Mediterranean; supporting the implementation of EU biodiversity policy and the 2020 target and strategy, by increasing awareness, understanding and support among stakeholders and people living and/or working in agricultural/rural areas of the Natura 2000 network; lowering barriers so as to increase the affordability of innovative, viable and appropriate wastewater treatment solutions; transferring the knowledge and experience gained in professional communication on risk perception and prevention to communication on climate change; reducing the illegal killing of protected wild birds in three EU Mediterranean countries - Italy, Greece and Spain; and raising awareness about Lazio's nature protection areas (NPAs) and Natura 2000 network sites and about citizens' impact on biodiversity. The total budget of these projects amounts to €11 million, of which the European Union will contribute €5.7 million. The projects are implemented by two municipalities, two research institutions, a regional authority, a university, two NGOs and a SME. Presented in the box below is an example of a successful LIFE Information & Communication project in Italy.

European awareness raising campaign for an environmentally sustainable olive mill waste management (Olèico+ ) LIFE07/INF/IT/000438 The LIFE Olèico+ project raised awareness among olive industry operators of the environmental damage caused by the careless disposal of olive waste, and built an effective dialogue between research centres, industry and policy makers on the adoption of economic and environmental technologies.

The project created a database of 146 technologies for olive mill waste treatment and reuse. The technologies were evaluated from a technical, economic and environmental perspective, as well as taking account of their ability to manage the process residues. Eight ecologically friendly technologies were selected, which were promoted in four awareness raising campaigns in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece. The campaigns were also used to explain to olive mill owners the environmental impacts of the careless disposal of olive mill waste on soil, surface water and the marine environment. These negative environmental effects were thoroughly discussed during the awareness raising campaigns, making the olive industry operators conscious of all environmental concerns.

The campaigns also targeted regional environmental protection agencies and the ministries of environment and agriculture in the targeted countries. Based on the results of all these activities, the Olèico+ partnership prepared a document on potential policy improvement, with contributions from the national and EU level, and on possible solutions for removing the identified barriers to the adoption of ecologically friendly technologies.

The project created a direct channel for information exchanges among those involved in the olive oil sector, resulting in policy makers being more conscious of the barriers to innovation and entrepreneurs better informed about new technologies suitable for Olive Waste Management (OWM). The co-operation between Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal allowed for the sharing of experiences and expertise, as well as the identification of common critical points in the OWM.
