From Global to Local Scenarios of Climate Change Impact on Natural Resources. The Role of Regional Planning in an Inner Area of South of Italy

The global scenarios associated with climate change predict a rise in temperatures over the coming decades, with serious consequences in terms of economics and quality of life. The scenarios outlined by the IPCC and the European Environment Agency foresee the Mediterranean basin as one of the areas potentially most affected by these phenomena. The paper, starting from the global scenarios, hypothesizes a local scenario in a region of significant relevance in Southern Italy, the Province of Avellino. Due to its implications, the paper proposes to use the scenarios as a primary tool in the building of regional planning for this area.
