Overview
Background

Italy is located in the Southern part of Europe and includes the Italian peninsula, that from the Alps stretches into the Mediterranean Sea, and several islands including Sicily (the largest in the Mediterranean Sea) and Sardinia. The Alps mountain range is the Italian natural northern border which separates Italy from the rest of Europe. The total national area is 301,340 km2, about 40% of the total national area is mountainous. The driving sector of the national economy is the service sector. The national population is expected to reach over 60 million by 2030.

Italy is located in an area identified as particularly vulnerable to climate change. Climate observations already confirm an increase of the average temperature as well as an upward trend in extreme temperatures. Italy is prone to natural hazards and climate change is expected to increase its vulnerability to climate-related hazards over the next decades.

Global Database on Sustainable Land Management (SLM)

The Global SLM Database contains over 1500 SLM practices from all over the world.

The objective of documenting and assessing SLM practices is to share and spread valuable knowledge in land management, support evidence-based decision-making, and scale up identified good practices, thereby contributing to preventing and reducing land degradation and to restoring degraded land.
