Italy

Italy is a southern European country characterized by diverse landscapes including mountain ranges, river valleys, coastlines, forests and Mediterranean ecosystems. Its environment is shaped by seismic and volcanic activity, intensive agriculture, urban development and climate influences from both continental Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. Italy is frequently studied in relation to heatwaves, drought, flooding, glacier retreat, biodiversity and environmental pressures affecting coastal and alpine regions.
