Schools are an important space young people to learn about disaster risk, but too often teachers miss educational opportunities. Educators need to better understand how to use specific climate disaster examples in the classroom to teach about risk.

Climate change and rising sea levels are making lagoon barrier closures more frequent. Scientists are worried about the impacts on the ecosystem.

This study aims to investigate the economic viability of MoSE (Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico or Experimental Electromechanical Module) operations in light of the potential future evolution of SLR (Sea-level rise).

Public works on the street surfaces, during the renovation of the sewage system, provided an opportunity to transform streets and parking areas on the waterfront into an urban park that simultaneously functions as a barrier against coastal flooding.

The aim in this loss calculations is to estimate the total sum of fatalities that are likely as a measure of the extent of earthquake disasters.

This paper investigates the effects of nature-based solutions and green infrastructure networks on pluvial flood risk in the Milan metropolitan area in terms of direct economic damage to buildings and population exposed.

This case study explores the preparedness and response efforts by the Italian Red Cross (Croce Rossa Italiana) during the 2023 heatwaves. It showcases effective strategies and draws insights from learnings to improve preparedness for future heatwaves.

Through this study, the authors develop a Machine Learning (ML) model to predict pluvial flood risk under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 for future scenarios of precipitation for the period 2021–2050 in Venice Italy.
