Italy 2026

イタリア

Italy enters 2027 having cut its greenhouse-gas emissions to 363 Mt CO₂e in 2024, 3.6% below 2023 and 30% below 1990, but with transport emissions still above their 1990 level and the 2030 effort-sharing target out of reach on current policies. Renewables met 41.2% of electricity demand in 2024, and Russian gas fell from about 40% of imports in 2021 to under 5% by 2023.

01 · Readings

Italy in six readings.

Six readings that frame the baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.

  • 58.9millionpopulation, 1 January 2025 [6]
  • 363Mt CO₂eemissions, 2024 [1]
  • 41.2%renewables in electricity demand, 2024 [7]
  • 18,010deathsheat-related, summer 2022 [4]
  • ≈94%municipalities exposed to hydrogeological hazard [11]
  • 42.4%water lost in networks, 2022 [12]

02 · Sectors

Six sectors, one hexagon.

Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.

  1. WAT水3 findings

    42.4% Water lost in municipal distribution networks, 2022. 報告値

    Network losses of 42.4%; drought on the Po in 2022; floods on dried soils in 2023.

  2. ENEエネルギー1 finding

    41.2% Renewable share of electricity demand, 2024. 報告値

    Renewables met 41.2% of demand in 2024; Russian gas replaced after 2022.

    Roads, rail and buildings exposed to landslides, floods and earthquakes.

  4. FOO食料0 findings

    ≈14% Share of EU agricultural output, 2024. 報告値

    A leading EU producer; drought and Xylella stress the South.

  5. HLT健康2 findings

    18,010 deaths Heat-related deaths, summer, 2022. 報告値

    18,010 heat deaths in 2022; one of Europe’s oldest populations.

  6. BIO生物多様性0 findings

    ≈160k hectares Area burned by 林野火災, 2021. 報告値

    Rich biodiversity; about a fifth of land in Natura 2000; 林野火災 in the South and islands.

Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 3, Finance 1, Geopolitics 1, Systemic 1.

03 · Hazard exposure

The hazards this edition reads.

The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-ITA-DFL-01

Drought-to-flood year

Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

04 · Couplings

How the sectors carry risk into each other.

The Italy matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core システム. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.
