At #COP27 the Italian Prime Minister stated that “Italy will provide its fair share”. Glad you brought that up @GiorgiaMeloni - as climate scientists have already calculated Italy's fair share, the amount of emissions that 🇮🇹 should reduce to do its part to tackle climate change: Image
1/ In order to do its fair share to tackle the #ClimateEmergency and keep 1.5°C within reach, Italy should pursue a 92% emissions reduction by 2030/1990 levels. This percentage was identified by @CA_Latest climate scientists in a report published in 2021: bit.ly/3HGYPzX
2/ However, evidence shows that Italy's efforts are inadequate:

🔴Government agency @ISPRA_Press notes that Italian GHG emissions are on the rise /2020 levels (04.2022).

🔴@EU_Eurostat also states that emissions have been increasing in Italy /pre-pandemic levels (05.2022).

#ClimateLitigation developments in Italy 🇮🇹
Today the Civil Court of Rome will hear arguments in the climate case #GiudizioUniversale, targeting the Italian State's failure to adequately protect its residents from dangerous climate change.🧵Why this case matters:
1/ It’s the first time that civil society launches a legal action targeting Italy's structural failure to reduce GHG emissions. The case was filed on behalf of 162 residents, 17 children, @ASudOnlus + 23 other NGOs, with the support of movements such as @XrItaly and @fffitalia
2/ On the basis of the Italian civil code, they ask the Court to:
▫️Establish that the State's climate inaction and significant delay = unlawful conduct.
▫️Order the State to reduce GHG emissions in compliance with the long-term temperature goal of the #ParisAgreement.
