Accordo di partenariato 2014-2020
L'Accordo di Partenariato 2014-2020 tra l'Italia e l'Unione Europea riguardava le politiche di coesione e il relativo utilizzo dei fondi strutturali e di investimento europei per sostenere lo sviluppo economico e sociale nelle diverse regioni italiane. Nell'ambito del progetto ISPRA Statistiche ambientali per le politiche di coesione 2014-2020 a valere sul PON GOVernance e Capacità Istituzionale 2014-2020 sono stati popolati gli indicatori di rilevanza ambientale dell’Accordo di Partenariato o comunque indicatori “di rilevanza ambientale” utili alle amministrazioni regionali e locali per monitorare le politiche di coesione 2014-2020.
The indicator provides information on sites subject to regional remediation procedures, based on data extracted from regional registries and databases. In 2023, 38,556 sites were registered, of which 22,191 have completed the remediation process.
For 62% of the sites, at least one surface area value (administrative or technical) is available. The sites for which the administrative area is known number 21,711, equal to 56% of the procedures. Among the ongoing procedures, 59% of the sites are in the notification phase, 21% are developing or have developed the conceptual model, while 20% have approved interventions.
For 97% of the sites with ongoing remediation procedures, the contamination status is known: 6,400 are potentially contaminated, 3,974 are contaminated, and 5,502 are awaiting analytical assessments. Among the concluded procedures, in only 30% of cases was an intervention necessary, while in the remaining 70% the procedure concluded without any intervention.
The indicator shows the quantity of special waste disposed of in landfills by category and type of waste, as well as the number of landfills. In 2022, the total amount of special waste disposed of in landfills was approximately 8.9 million tons, representing 5% of the total amount of special waste managed nationwide (177 million tons). Compared to 2021, there was a decrease of about 1.3 million tons (-12.6%), while compared to 2020 (the year of the COVID-19 pandemic), a reduction of 975 thousand tons (-9.9%) was recorded. The total number of operational landfills is 261, categorized as follows: 118 landfills for inert waste (45% of total operational facilities);132 landfills for non-hazardous waste (51% of total); 11 landfills for hazardous waste (4% of total). Analyzing the 2020–2022 period, a progressive decrease in the total number of operational landfills can be observed, from 285 in 2020 to 270 in 2021 and 261 in 2022.
In 2022, the separate waste collection rate reached 65.2% of national waste production (29.1 million tons), an increase of 1.2 percentage points compared to 2021, thus meeting the regulatory target set for 2012 (65%).
The Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) is one of the main pillars of the European Union's nature conservation policy. This indicator is based on data provided by Italy for the periodic reporting required of Member States under Article 17 of the Directive. The report provides a general summary of the Italy’s Fourth Report, referring to data from monitoring activities conducted by regions and autonomous provinces during the 2013–2018 period. Specifically, it highlights the overall conservation status observed for terrestrial and inland water habitats across the national territory, as well asthe distribution of conservation status across the Italian biogeographical regions. Additionally, the report outlines the number of assessments to be conducted by individual regions and autonomous provinces for habitat monitoring, providing an estimate of the expected workload.
The trend compared to the previous reporting cycle is negative, showing a decrease in favorable assessments. Currently, only 8% of cases are classified as having a favorable conservation status, while 49% are deemed inadequate and 40% poor. This indicates a generally critical situation, further distancing Italy from achieving the objectives set by the Directive.
The indicator provides an estimate of the population exposed to landslide risk (personal damage risk: deaths, missing, injuries, and evacuations) on a national, regional, provincial, and municipal basis. In Italy, the population at landslide risk residing in areas with high and very high landslide hazard (P3+P4) amounts to 1,303,666 inhabitants, equal to 2.2% of the total population.
This indicator provides an overview of the population residing in flood-prone areas (population exposed to flood risk) at the national, regional, provincial, and municipal levels. In Italy, the population residing in areas with high hazard/probability is 4.1% of the total national population (2,431,847 people); those exposed to medium hazard/probability are 11.5% (6,818,375 people), while the population in areas with low hazard/probability is 20.6% (12,257,427 people).
